Good Manners with Polly the Polite Possum
Oct 16, 2023 Season 1 Episode 25
Max and Kelley Grimm

In this episode, Max and Kelley welcome their special guest, Amber Grimm, a fellow writer and one of the sweetest people on the planet. We discuss her children's book, Polly the Polite Possum, and the importance of manners in a world that seems to value rudeness.

We explore how being kind helps you feel better and that sometimes rude people might have issues we're unaware of. As teachers, we've had our share of challenging students, and Max shares one poignant story of a young man named Bobby, who he describes as a "Tasmanian Devil," but when he sat down with the five-year-old, he learned what was driving the misbehavior.   

For additional stories by Amber that were read on the podcast,  you can go to Episode 4 - Boo's Zoo Adventure and Other Stories, our fourth episode.  

Thanks so much. Stay curious, creative and of course, polite like Polly!
