Maria Dismondy (The Children's Book Podcast #428)
THE FRUIT SALAD FRIEND
Maria Dismondy is the author of THE FRUIT SALAD FRIEND and founder of Cardinal Rule Press, an independent publishing company. Maria's newest picture book addresses the notion that people are not always kind, but surrounding yourself with friends who are kind and trustworthy can go a long way. It's a story I'd guess Maria has lived a number of times throughout her life. I admire Maria for the work she's done to bring such positive and empowering stories to our young readers, and to do so over years of hard work, research, and assembling a noteworthy team.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Chloe loves going to school, but lately, something is different. Chloe has all the ingredients of a great friend – kindness, empathy, compassion and more. Chloe wonders, "What do you do when friends don't treat you with kindness?"
Find out how this brave girl navigates the trials and tribulations that pop up on her way to discovering the recipe for lasting friendship.
