Shape of a Boy | Acclaimed family travel book | Kate Wickers

Take a Wander with Shebs

In this episode, I spoke to journalist and author of the book Shape of a Boy, Kate Wickers.
I initially discussed how Kate got into journalism and where her love for travel started. I then talk about how the book reflects Kate's love of travelling on adventures with her family. Kate spoke to me about why writing a book like this is important for families.
We detail why she felt it was necessary to write a memoir and what she would like the readers to gain from it.
I also discussed whether she has aspirations to write more books.
