Andy Griffiths is one of Australia’s most successful children’s book authors, who drew on his experience as a school teacher to redefine what it was that made kids want to read.  



Anyone who reads books to their kids knows that some are just excellent, and some are pretty ordinary.  



This conversation  peels back the curtain on what makes kids actually want to read – not what we think they should read, but what gets them genuinely excited to turn the page. And in writing about poos, bums, and wees - all in the service of getting more kids to read - Andy has sold Millions and millions of books.  



As far as Andy is concerned - sometimes the best stories have absolutely no moral lesson whatsoever. There’s also a  brilliant take on how limiting yourself creatively – like writing a story in just 50 words – can actually make your work better.  



He brings insights into creative writing, childhood development, and the publishing industry which is really fascinating.  



It’s a conversation about imagination, creativity, and why sometimes the best thing we can do for our kids is let them eat a little dirt.
