Join Allison and Dan to talk about city parenting. Listen as they interview Slate’s Michelle Goldberg on her latest piece, “Is a Surrogate a Mother?” Allison’s husband John Cook, Executive Editor of Gawker, will also be on hand to discuss his own parenting triumphs and fails.

Matt de la Peña, Newbery Medal winning author, Last Stop on Market Street

Laurie Berkner, bestselling children’s recording artist

Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal winner and New York Times bestselling author of children’s fiction, including When You Reach Me
