Joel writes, Troy illustrates, and together they are on a mission to inspire young people to be more active and more creative. Their two picture books, 'Birdwatching Betty', and 'Giraffe Cannot Play Hide and Seek' started as gifts for the children of friends and now have become books that are delighting many people, young and old. In this awesome conversation, we discuss the power of a deadline, about finding fun in every element of life, why comparison is the thief of joy, and why progress is better than perfection. This is an inspiring conversation, not to be missed.","meta_description":"In episode 349, I speak with Joel and Troy McRae, co-authors of children's books.
