As part of our ‘Marlo Meets’ conversation series, our founder Rebekah Clark enjoyed speaking with Simon Confino and Esther Marshall, two children’s authors whose books help children navigate big feelings.

As children and families in the UK prepare for the end of the Summer school term (and the conclusion to another tumultuous academic year disrupted by lockdown), debate continues as to the best solutions to address some of the lasting impacts on young people.

In conversation with Thea May, this interview explores themes of race, identity, emotional wellbeing, isolation, and finding purpose through pain.
