An Exclusive MOMÉ Conversation with Lauren Sánchez Bezos

We asked Lauren what makes The Fly Who Flew to the North Pole a special story for families to slow down and enjoy together during the holidays.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos:

"The holidays can be hectic, but kids who are read to every day hear almost 300,000 more words by the time they’re five. So sit down. Read something out loud. This one’s a fun Christmas story about a reindeer who can’t make the directions stay still on the page, and a fly who knows exactly how that feels. I grew up with dyslexia, and what got me through was my friends: figuring it out with someone instead of hiding it. That’s what this book is about. And if one kid looks up mid-page and says, 'That’s me,' that’s the whole point."
