Columnist and family law attorney, Katie Burke in her forthcoming debut title Urban Playground: What Kids Say About Living in San Francisco (April 7, 2020, SparkPress) gives us some insight on what kids are thinking. We always hear form the parents but rarely do we hear from the kids or someone taking interest in the children perspective. In this episode learn how Katie Burke is taking the time to really understand how children really feel about living in the San Francisco (bay) area. She wanted to showcase the importance of children's voices especially during this scary COVID time. Katie has taught creative writing in Kenya South Africa and really wanted to highlight the importance in opening dialogue with children to gain their perspective on urban living. In Katie's forthcoming book Urban Playground: What Kids Say About Living in San Francisco, strategies are provided to help parents open conversations with their children on a variety of topics. Aside from writing, she has taught creative writing to children and adults in Kenya, South Africa, and San Francisco. If that isn't enough she is a columnist for The NOE Valley Voice, where she writes a monthly column about kids. Katie’s writing has appeared in San Francisco Attorney Magazine, the L.A.
