In a recent studio meeting, Henrieta Verhoustinska engages with two Latvian writers, Zane Zusta and Džeina Šteinberga, to discuss their newly released books. Zusta has impressively published two books simultaneously: "The Secret Journey to the Tooth Monster" aimed at children and "Married Women's (Sin) Confessions". Džeina has released her second book, "Star Child". Both authors have ventured into children's literature, a field Zusta is quite familiar with as the creator of the 'Ucipuci' movement. This conversation explores their motivations for writing for younger audiences.

Džeina Steinberg mentions the interesting trajectory of her writing career, referencing her debut book "The Reader," which was not intended for children but ended up resonating with a teenage audience. This unexpected success highlights the evolving nature of literature and audience perception. She reflects on her motivation to create content for children, especially since she has a son of kindergarten age. This desire to write something meaningful for him has led to her latest work, about a boy coming from the stars, showcasing a unique blend of imagination and personal inspiration in her writing.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of children's literature and the authors' commitment to exploring themes that resonate with young readers. Both Zusta and Steinberg not only contribute significantly to this genre but also provide insight into the creative processes and personal stories behind their writings. Their works are now available in libraries and bookstores, promising to spark interest among both children and parents alike as they navigate the world of storytelling.
