Todd Parr, THE FAMILY BOOK

Zibby is joined by Todd Parr, bestselling author of 60+ children’s books best known for their bright colors, silly scenes, and heart-warming, encouraging messages. Todd describes his elementary school reading troubles and finally getting diagnosed with dyslexia and ADD, his first job as a flight attendant, and how he finally turned his love of doodling into a career helping children through books! Then, he talks about his mother’s drug addiction and his best friend’s suicide, tragedies he survived in high school that later inspired his motto: “life is for living, not for surviving”.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: bit.ly/3GBRFymBookshop: bit.ly/3Es8DwtSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
