## Resource

Some kids wait for permission to create. Others just start. In this joyful conversation, Ginny sits down with young authors Daisy Day and Calvin Day to talk about writing books, building worlds, starting a kids' writing club, making cardboard pirate ships, turning backyard adventures into stories, and discovering that imagination grows when childhood is full of play. Their excitement is contagious, and their advice is refreshingly simple: sit down, start writing, and don't wait until you're grown up to make something that matters. If you've ever wondered how to raise creative kids or how to protect the kind of childhood that naturally produces them this episode will leave you wanting to hand your child a notebook instead of another screen.
