Meet the author / Q&A with Justyna Bednarek
The meeting will be hosted by Martyna Chuderska, a journalist for Polskie Radio Dzieciom (a Polish radio station dedicated to children) with a velvety voice and infectious enthusiasm, who genuinely loves children’s spontaneity.
Can parents be naughty, and what happens when they are? Do you always have to stick to the rules, and who is responsible for setting them? Are there situations in which mum becomes Mrs Justyna or Mrs Martyna?
And what would happen if our grandmothers could do magic? Or maybe they can? Is there anything we’d like to put a spell on?
Justyna Bednarek, the author of Babcocha (Step-grandmother) and Nasza niegrzeczna mama (Our naughty mum), adored by children and adults alike, will talk about how she became a writer, how her books are created, and where she gets her inspiration to come up with all these incredible adventures. She might even reveal who she thinks about when creating her unique, empowering and loving heroines and how, instead of getting a tattoo, she got an illustrator for Nasza niegrzeczna mama… We’ll chat about the antics of children and adults, and listen to some extracts from her books. But wait a minute… have you already guessed that this won’t be a perfectly polite meeting at all? Maybe it will even get… a little naughty!
After all, as the heroine of Nasza niegrzeczna mama says: “I’d keep messing around, but I’ve run out of ideas!”
This meeting is a unique opportunity to get to know one of the most-loved children’s authors and maybe even ask her anything you want!
