Bookshop Interview with Author Diane E. Keyes (Episode #128)

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Diane E. Keyes discusses her debut children’s picture book, Peas Let Her Be a Princess. Diane is a third-generation children’s librarian. She grew up surrounded by literature and writing and performing plays with her family. As a children’s librarian, Diane has written numerous puppet show scripts for kids. When a friend challenged her to write a book, she decided to give it a try, and Peas Let Her Be a Princess was the wonderful result. Diane has put her own spin on the well-known fairytale, The Princess and the Pea, presenting it in a new way to create humor and laughter for young readers. In this episode, I’ll chat with Diane about her writing journey, how her role as a children’s librarian is to nurture creativity in others, and how writing books now gives her the opportunity to foster her own creativity.
