I’m so happy to bring you the March episode of The Book Club Life podcast with bestselling, award-winning children’s author, Deb Gruelle. She’s the author of Ten Little Night Stars (and other fantastic books) and also happens to be the great-great-grand-niece of Johnny Gruelle, creator of Raggedy Ann & Andy. How cool is that?!

Ten Little Night Stars charmed me because it’s sweet, fun, full of rhyme, and makes getting ready for bed seem such a fun time. <3 (It’s also short, which is a plus for parents putting their kids to bed with “just one more” book. LOL)

Join me in my conversation with Deb Gruelle and then scroll down to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY for a copy of the book!

In this interview, we discuss:

• Infertility
• Finding Identity as a child of God
• Parenting
• Building Security in children
• Ten Little Night Stars
• And more

You can find our interview on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc. Give it a listen, and then enter the giveaway!

Isn’t Deb the sweetest? Her books are, too. Before you scroll down to enter the giveaway, here’s a little more about Ten Little Night Stars.
