My guest on E273 of #thePOZcast is Laura Numeroff. You may not have had a childhood if you’ve never heard of her book “If You Give a Mouse A Cookie.” She’s sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide, been invited to the White House not once but twice, and even received 2 Emmy nominations for the adaptation of her book to a TV series.
Laura is also heavily involved with the “It Takes A Village” project which we’ll get into a bit later in the show. Laura is super-accomplished and also just a very down-to-earth person that I’m excited to have on the show, so let’s get to it!
To learn more, please visit www.JoinOurVillage.org to see how you can help It Takes A Village to educate, empower and inspire kids all over the world.
And you can find her classic books at https://lauranumeroff.com/
