In this episode of The Balanced Educator podcast, we are chatting with Catherine Greer, the author of the amazing book, Jacaranda Snow, on growth mindset and flow for kids.
Catherine Greer is a Canadian-Australian author, writing coach and happiness blogger. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree and a Master’s degree in English, and loves to write, teach and inspire.
Her debut thriller set in Sydney – Love Lie Repeat – will be published by Penguin Random House in March 2019. Her growth mindset picture book, Jacaranda Snow (Wombat Books), will launch in September 2018.
Previously, Catherine collaborated on Choosing Happiness, an award-winning non-fiction book available worldwide. Today she blogs at catherinegreer.com.au giving readers around the world a little slice of happiness.
Catherine also helps aspiring new writers with their books in her online course, WRITE YOUR BOOK THIS YEAR.
With a unique mix of Canadian optimism and Australian savvy, Catherine loves connecting with people and sharing her wisdom about writing and life.
She lives in Sydney with her husband, two teenage sons, and a fluffy fur-baby named Holly Golightly.
Catherine gives the story of Jacaranda Snow and how the story came to be.
She talks about the flowyness and magical unfolding of the creation process of the book, from the story to the publisher to having a composer create a piece of music to go with the book to the illustrator to working with us.
