Rev Kate Bottley is joined by 'My Name is Leon' author Kit de Waal to chat about her childhood memoir, 'Without Warning and Only Sometimes - Scenes from an Unpredictable Childhood'.

Reverend Kate Bottley presents uplifting stories about life, love and modern spirituality, alongside a great soundtrack for your Sunday morning.

Her guest this morning is 'My Name is Leon' author Kit de Waal. Born in Birmingham to an Irish mother, who was a childminder and foster carer, and a Caribbean father, Kit has just released her new childhood memoir 'Without Warning and Only Sometimes'. She tells Kate about growing up in Birmingham in the sixties and seventies, how she and her brothers and sisters knew all the words to the best songs and shares her love of reading that inspires her to this day.

Also, 91热爆 TV and radio presenter Cat Cubie and baby and child sleep expert Sarah Carpenter join Kate to discuss their new book 'Sleep Better, Baby'. As sleep experts and parents of sleepless children, Cat and Sarah share accessible, tried-and-tested guidance with zero judgement. They are also hosts of top ten parenting podcast 'The Sleep Mums'.
