Tim McCanna – 4 Books in 1 Year

Tim McCanna has been an actor, musician, musical theatre writer, graphic designer and dad. Now, he is combining all those experiences into being a writer for children.

We chat about his four books that came out this year (BITTY BOT’S BIG BEACH GETAWAY, JACK B. NINJA, BOING! A VERY NOISY ABC & SO MANY SOUNDS). We get to all these stories but we also talk about musical theatre, graphic design, finding picture books and a new passion. Plus Tim’s best moment of his picture book life will blow you away.
