A Boy Called Bat
Elana K. Arnold (@ElanaKArnold) and Charles Santoso (@minitreehouse), author and illustrator, respectively, of A Boy Called Bat, stop by the podcast to talk about respecting the people whose lives you borrow from, feeling like autism is always in the foreground when talking about neurodiversity, and creating a book with a whole lot of heart.

Loved this episode so much! If a herd of unicorns is called a blessing then so is All the Wonders!
Someone close to me is neuro-atypical and so I could really relate to this episode. I loved that “A Boy Called Bat” strives to show the wholeness of the character and is infused with hope and love of life. And I’m a fan of Charles Santoso!
