Summary

"That was maybe one of the most thrilling moments of my whole life: when I first walked into a bookstore and there was something that I wrote on the shelf." Children's book — and now middle-grade — author Adam Rubin joins Zibby to discuss his latest book, The Ice Cream Machine, which features six different stories told in six entirely different ways. Adam and Zibby talk about what he believes is so magical about writing, why he doesn't think stories for children should be dumbed down, and how he hopes readers will be inspired to send him their own Ice Cream Machine story using the book's outer flap as an envelope. Adam also shares what he likes to tell his young audience to hopefully encourage them to pursue the things they love to do regardless of success.
