The Bookshelf: The Book That Inspired a Six-Year-Old to Write

Enjoyed the episode, got a suggestion or a question send me a text **The Book That Inspired a Six-Year-Old to Write** Sometimes we don't realise the ripple effect our actions can have.  In this episode of **The Bookshelf**, I'm joined by author, editor and writing coach Cara A'Court to talk about two very special books. Cara shares the story behind her own novel, *Three People, Three Countries, One Path*, and how publishing it inspired her six-year-old niece to write and publish her very first book, *Matt the Mole and the Stormy Day*. We also talk about writing as a way of processing life's experiences, why perfection shouldn't stop creativity, and how finding your own way of telling a story matters far more than getting every word right. As someone who is dyslexic, writing has never come naturally to me, so this was a conversation that challenged some of my own beliefs about what it means to be a writer. Whether you love books, have always dreamed of writing one, or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind them, I hope you enjoy this conversation. **You can find the books Cara spoke about here:** https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-People-Countries-One-Path/dp/1639888527 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Matt-mole-stormy-Billie-Rose-Lamb/dp/B0D4J91T5C **And if you'd like to connect with Cara, you can do that here:** https://www.linkedin.com/in/cara-a-court-335878143/ Link below to go straight to Insta The Untypical Parent Podcast The Untypical Podcaster Support the show
