270: LD Lapinski, Kwame Alexander, Angie Thomas and Lou Kuenzler
Ahead of the Yoto Carnegie Medal, we will be considering how children\u2019s books approach some of the more sensitive topics life has to offer:\xa0\n
\nLD Lapinski takes us to a dark place in the final adventure with her Strangeworlds Travel Agency\n
\nKwame Alexander gets poetic as he considers bereavement in his novel 'Rebound'.\n
\nAngie Thomas\xa0 addresses gun violence and racism in her breath-taking debut 'The Hate U Give'.\xa0\n
\nLou Kuenzler tells us how she approached writing a story aimed at giving early years readers a better understanding of sight loss.\xa0
\n
\nAnd we return to LD Lapinski for the Books of Your Life.
