Today on the Dads with Daughters podcast I talk with Evan Balkan and his daughter Amelia. We talk about fatherhood, and the relationship they share together. Also, we talk about the journey that Amelia and Evan went on in publishing a book together.
In February 2021 Penelope Pine was published. This is a delightful story that teaches young readers to be happy with who they are.
Penelope is a pine tree. She lives in the forest with oaks, poplars, and maples, and enjoys playing with her tree friends. But when autumn rolls around and her friends turn beautiful colors, Penelope the evergreen believes that she doesn’t measure up. But when winter comes and her friends are suddenly very cold without their leaves, Penelope learns that she is perfect just the way she is.
The story was crafted by the daughter and father team of Amelia and Evan Balkan. Amelia, 16, is a junior at Towson High School, in Towson, Maryland. Her father, Evan, has published seven books of nonfiction and three novels, as well as many essays and short stories.
