Hey, hey,
Merry Christmas Eve! As the day gets rolling, I know you might be finishing last-minute prep, wrapping gifts, or just trying to get some quiet time in before the festivities begin. Wherever this email finds you, I’m grateful you’re reading this.
This week, Aidyn and I had the joy of chatting with Aaron Blabey, the creator of The Bad Guys. His books have been a hit in our house for years, but what stuck with me most during this conversation was his story of how it all began—with a dad who wanted to help his son love reading. That simple, heartfelt intention sparked a series that’s now loved by families all over the world.
In just 13 minutes, Aaron talks about the persistence it took to bring The Bad Guys to life, the themes of empathy and redemption that make the series so powerful, and his hopes for how his stories connect with kids and families. He even gives us a sneak peek at what’s next—and, y’all, Aidyn was all in for that part!
If you’re looking for a quick listen to inspire you today, I hope you’ll check this one out. It’s a short but meaningful conversation that might just remind you of the magic of meeting kids where they are and how stories can be a bridge to connection.
Thank you for making space for this in your day. Wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas Eve filled with joy, connection, and plenty of love.
All my best,
Quinn 📚💕
