On this episode, Stacy speaks with Linda Malik, author of Willow’s Tale, a children’s picture book about the adventures of a black cat named Willow.
In her discussion with Stacy, Linda describes the inspiration behind this story and why she chose to publish a children’s picture book. She discusses the unfair stigma surrounding black cats and the importance of dispelling this fallacy at a young age.
Linda talks about Willow’s additional projects, including an upcoming second book and an animated series. This animated series was produced by autistic animators (link to prior episode), who she believes are similarly unfairly stigmatized. Linda strongly encourages anyone looking to adopt to consider black cats.
