Galloping into Print: Exploring Story Normy with Leisa Fail
In this heartfelt episode of Chalk and Coffee, I’m joined by Leisa Fail, author of the beautifully illustrated children’s book Stormy Normy.
Leisa shares how her deep love of horses inspired her creative journey and how Stormy Normy was born from a desire to help children understand and express big feelings in safe, supported ways.
We chat about the power of storytelling in emotional development, and how characters can help children see their own stormy days reflected with empathy, humour, and heart.
