Join Hayley King for an inspiring conversation with children’s author Kristina Rahim, whose middle grade stories celebrate friendship, being true to yourself, and the beauty of diverse family set-ups.

Kristina’s work shines a light on donor conception, helping young people understand and feel seen through sensitive, empowering storytelling. Her debut novel, THE DOUGHNUT CLUB, has already garnered major recognition, shortlisted for the 2025 Books Are My Bag Readers Award (Children’s Fiction) and winner of the PFD Queer Fiction Prize 2023 (Children’s & YA).

Kristina lives in London with her wife and their two donor conceived daughters, and her acclaimed book is now available in paperback from Nosy Crow in both the UK and US.

Don’t miss this heartfelt discussion about representation, modern families, and writing stories that truly matter.
