We talk about working with children and how their perspectives can open up new creative possibilities, the joys of picture books, and the differences between writing fiction and non-fiction.

We also dig into the role of issue-driven art - especially in spaces like refugee-led theatre - and ask: does engaging with a story feel like action, or actually lead to change?
