Bianca with Jasmine A. Stirling on A Most Clever Girl: How Jane Austen Discovered Her Voice

In this episode of the Growing Readers Podcast, I talk with debut
author Jasmine A. Stirling about A Most Clever Girl: How Jane
Austen Discovered Her Voice, a picture book biography about the
beloved and enduring writer and how she found her unique voice.


This conversation with Jasmine is equally as inspiring as it is
empowering. You'll very quickly realize that her knowledge of
Jane Austen is extensive. We learn why this historical figure is
such an important role model for our children—both girls and
boys. Jane Austen is known for her swoony romances, but there is
so much more to her than we are sometimes led to believe. Jasmine
wants young people to see that creative mastery is the product of
experimentation, persistence, and life's hard-won battles.
