In this episode, host Mary Ellen Sherlock welcomes award-winning children’s author Kelly Bennett, whose books have inspired readers around the world. Filmed inside a charming independent bookstore in Riverhead, Long Island, this conversation explores the heart of storytelling—why stories matter, how creativity builds confidence, and why everyone has a story worth telling.

Kelly shares her personal journey into writing, the teachers and mentors who believed in her, and how a single class on writing children’s stories sparked a lifelong career. Together, they discuss the importance of boredom, imagination, and play in childhood, and how storytelling helps children—and adults—make sense of the world.

Whether you’re a writer, parent, educator, or simply someone searching for inspiration, this episode will remind you that creativity is not about perfection—it’s about connection.
