David A. Robertson on new books All the Little Monsters & 52 Ways to Reconcile – and the power of kindness and hope (Sesaya Arts Magazine)
May 11, 2025
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon during the 2023 Toronto International Festival of Authors when I first met David A. Robertson. I was hosting a panel featuring the Governor General’s Literary Award–winning author, and we both arrived drenched from a torrential downpour. Having been caught without umbrellas, we were too soaked to sit down, and by the end of a lively chat, we chuckled about the puddle that our dripping clothes had made on the green room floor. Damp and cold but smiling, we headed to the venue. On stage, Robertson—calm, genial, and generous—captivated the audience, especially the many young fans of The Misewa Saga (Tundra Books), his bestselling fantasy series for middle-grade readers.
