Episode 226: The Trumpet of the Swan

The Trumpet of the Swan

It’s a new year of throwback reads with SSR! This week, Alli and her guests get things started with a cozy conversation about E.B. White’s The Trumpet of the Swan. They discuss what the book has to say about love, ableism, capitalism, difference, the animal kingdom, and more. They also share their very personal connections to the novel!

Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka are the authors of The Roughest Draft and the forthcoming Do I Know You?, along with several novels about romance for teens. Follow Emily (@wibbs_ink) and Austin (@austins_b) on Instagram.
