Archives: TPD 296 – KidLit Authors Take a Kid’s Perspective

Thunder Punch Daily

While making The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue I recorded a bunch of reflections on why and how I was making the book. These microcasts were shared exclusively with people who supported me on Patreon (I’m sharing the entire process of making the next Doctor Baer story there right now!).

To count down to the book’s release, I’m putting some of those reflections into the Thunder Punch Daily feed. Please note: the book was titled Baron von Bear and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue at the time of this recording. But baronvonbear.com does take you to the book’s landing page. Here’s the original post:

I’m answering another prompt provided by a listener!

Many children’s media creators have children and claim they are a huge source of inspiration. Do you feel like your storytelling craft suffers from not raising children yourself?

For me, it’s all about taking a kid’s perspective, which we all have access to, since we were all kids.
