Making Space with Christian Robinson

Feeling angry lately? Overwhelmed? How about your kids? Author and illustrator Christian Robinson has created a tool to help young people process powerful emotions through art. In this episode he'll talk about his video series Making Space, and how childhood struggles can be spun into stories. 

After the show:

• Watch Making Space with artist Christian Robinson on YouTube.
• Grab a kid and read some of Christian Robinson's books. We love You Matter (4+), Another (4+), Carmela Full of Wishes (4+), and Last Stop on Market Street (3+), which won the 2016 Newbery Medal. A full list of his books, reviewed by Common Sense, is available here.
• Follow Christian Robinson on Instagram @artoffun.
• Preorder his next collaboration with Matt de la Peña, Milo Imagines the World. It's the story of Milo, who's riding the subway with his big sister to visit their mother, who's incarcerated.
