Reasons Revisited

Andrea Elliott: Invisible Child

Hello, as part of Cheerful Book Club we're welcoming our first ever Pulitzer Prize winner onto the show. Andrea Elliott talks about her new book Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival and Hope in New York City. Almost a decade in the making, the book follows a young girl, Dasani, as she grows up without a home in New York City. We talk to Andrea about what it's like to win a Pulitzer, the role of the journalist, Obama and her reasons for hope and optimism. Plus: Ed has crossed the pond and we hear about an improbable new sport for Geoff to turn his hand to. Buy tickets for our live show here: <a href="https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/reasons-to-be-cheerful-live/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/reasons-to-be-cheerful-live/</a> Andrea's book, Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival and Hope in New York City <a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/144/1447200/invisible-child/9781529151169.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/144/1447200/invisible-child/9781529151169.html</a> Hosted on Acast.
