S.D. Smith Interview, New Jack Zulu Book

Bright Wings: Children’s Books to Make the Heart Soar - A podcast by Charity Hill

Sam Smith, better known as S. D. Smith, the author of the beloved Green Ember Series tells us the Big News! He is collaborating with his son J.C Smith on a new series, beginning with Jack Zulu and the Waylander's Key. If you loved the strange mix of rabbits with swords, you will love the half-African, half-Appalachian Jack Zulu. S.D. Smith and Charity converse about the great questions of Who am I?, Where Have I Come From?, Where Am I Going?, and What Good Must I Do?  S.D. Smith tells us why Jack is from such different "worlds"? He explains why "place" is so crucial in this tale. Sam speaks about the two different types of greatness between which Jack must choose.  We discuss the urgent need to face the "glamour of evil" in an honest way with readers.Order: Jack Zulu and the Waylander's KeyFREE audiobook of The Green EmberFind quick book recommendations by following Charity on Instagram.Enjoy essays on the Bright Wings' blog OR find great book lists personally crafted with you in mind!
