    106. Why do people tell stories about animals?
    Mar 23 2026

    Why do so many classic stories feature talking animals? In this episode, we'll think about how animal characters help authors share big ideas in memorable ways, and how careful observation of real nature inspired beloved stories like those of Beatrix Potter.

    In the upcoming No Sweat Nature Study video class, we'll see how Beatrix Potter used nature study to inspire her stories, and you'll create a journal page inspired by her style. Join at NoSweatNatureStudy.com. Use the code NOSWEAT for $10 off your first payment of a quarterly subscription.
