Celebrity guest!! Josh Gad, PICTUREFACE LIZZY

Beloved actor Josh Gad (star of the animated hit movie FROZEN) joins Zibby to discuss PICTUREFACE LIZZY, a hilarious, energetic, and relatable picture book about a girl who won’t rest until she gets the latest cool toy: PictureFace Lizzy! Josh shares his unexpected writing journey—it all started during the pandemic when he read to kids on his social media platforms almost daily! He explains how his book addresses the impact of technology on children, particularly social media, and draws from personal experiences with his daughters to highlight the themes of consumerism, FOMO, and finding balance in a tech-driven world. Finally, Josh touches on his experiences with anxiety and the benefits of open dialogue with children about the pressures of technology and societal expectations.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/47v7x1hShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
