## Caption

We were excited to go One-on-One with Kallie George (kallie.george), author of THE WISHING LEAF, a cute and cozy children’s picture book about Bear, and his wait for the last leaf to fall, so he can make his wish. 🐻 🍂

In our conversation, Kallie took us through what inspired this adorable story, her love for sharing her books to readers in-person, and some motivating advice for anyone wishing to write and publish a children’s book of their own! 📚 💖
