    If you love (Girl Scout) cookies, reading, and books you’ll enjoy this video/audio podcast with Author/Illustrator David Ezra Stein as they talk about his new book Interrupting Chicken- Cookies for Breakfast. But really, it’s about more than cookies…it’s about writing, drawing, inspiration, persistence, reading aloud with the ones we love. Share this one with your Girl Scouts, no matter the age. Budding authors and artists, or even just those who love a good story will enjoy this visit with David and discover some books to check out at the library or bookstore. And perhaps you can even weave this fun story with a strong young girl character into your cookie sale this year, too!

Great Info and Interviews!

Really enjoy your content! You are interesting, knowledgeable and helpful. The background music does a disservice to your presentation though. Please keep going, sans music! Merci

Great Volunteer Resource

So glad I heard about this. I’ve been binge listening. Love how topical the podcasts are, so I can skip over the ones that don’t apply, but love the variety of guests and topics. Have gained something from each one. Thanks for putting them together!

Great resource

Enjoy the podcast. Learning a lot about GS as a new leader. The constant background music is a little distracting but a great resource for GS members for sure.
