Q: Is this book based on your BBC column, and how did that shape the final selection of ten stories?
Yes, the book expands on a BBC column, with seven completely new stories and three revisited ones, forming a curated set that aims to reflect a wide geographic and thematic net.
Why You Should Let People Yell At Your Kids with Marina Lopes (#68)
