Eckstein is a New York Times bestselling author. His most recent book Footnotes from the World’s Most Fascinating Museums is a delight. In addition to Funny Times his cartoons has been featured in the pages of The New Yorker, The New York Times and MAD Magazine.
In addition to being a hilarious essayist, Lenore Skenazy is the founder of the Free-Range Parenting movement and coined a new holiday in 2010: “Take Our Children to the Park and Leave Them There Day.”
You’ll hear these two in conversation with Funny Times publisher Renae Lesser who invites them to examine broad themes of resilience, whether in art or in child-rearing.
