Debut Author Maha Huneidi on Blog Talk Radio’s World of Ink Network show: Stories for Children –September 12, 2011

Blog Talk Radio’s World of Ink Network Show: Stories for Children with hosts VS Grenier, Kris Quinn Christopherson and Irene Roth will be chatting with debut children’s author Maha Huneidi.
As a mother, grandmother, meditation and yoga instructor, debut children’s author Maha Huneidi is finally doing what she is most passionate about, at sixty, being charged by a mere idea, one that she can turn into a story or article.
“I love to write. It empowers and delights me,” states Huneidi. “I also love the newness, exuberance and curiosity of little kids, and I share the two latter traits with them, as well as many other traits like the ability to make mistakes fearlessly and learn from them, for example.”
Huneidi’s debut picture book, When Monsters Get Lonely shares a fun story about a little girl who is afraid of the dark. As the lights go out, the all too real feeling of what might be hiding in the dark awaits young readers as they learn ways to face their own fears with the main character Hannah.

The hosts of Stories for Children will chat with Maha Huneidi about the inspiration behind, When Monsters Get Lonely, her upcoming World of Ink Virtual Tour and how parents/grandparents can help young children overcome their fears.

The show will air live, September 12, 2011 at 2pm EST. Tune in at the BTR World of Ink Network site at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/worldofinknetwork. You can listen/call in at (714) 242-5259. (Note: if you can’t make the show, you can listen on demand at the same link.)

The Comeback of 2D Animation: Why We’re Craving Realness Again

There’s something happening in animation right now that’s worth paying attention to—not because it’s simply nostalgic, but because it’s deeply human. As someone who works in the mental health and creative storytelling space, I can’t help but see these conversations about art, AI, and hand-drawn storytelling as part of a bigger theme: our collective hunger for authenticity. We live in a time where AI-generated content is everywhere—convenient, efficient, and often soulless. It’s not surprising that artists and audiences alike are looking back toward something that feels more tactile, more imperfect, more human. That brings us to 2D animation, an art form that has shaped generations and now, it seems, might just be making a comeback. Here’s what Language of the Soul podcast host, Dominick Domingo, had to say on this trend: There’s been a lot of industry talk lately speculating about 2D/traditional ANIMATION making a comeback. Recent articles confirm that although Disney has not greenlit...
