Jackie Oshry sat down with Fox News Digital to talk about her new children's book and the inspiration behind the story — stemming from camp and a family member.
A podcaster, business owner and mom of two has a new children's book out that captures a special summer camp experience — and it's based on a true story. Jackie Oshry runs a daily pop culture podcast, 'The Toast,' and also has a popular canned cocktail business, Spritz Society. Now, she's moved into publishing turf.
My sister and I put on a camp weekend for our listeners because we love camp and were always talking about camp and our experiences,' she said. Oshry has over 323,000 Instagram followers, while 'The Toast' podcast has over 290,000 and her sister, Claudia Oshry, also known as @girlwithnojob, has over 3.2 million.
This inside joke sort of started … so I just started calling her ‘Counselor,’' she recalled. Over the years, Oshry said she continued to joke around with her youngest sister by calling her 'Counselor Snitch' — since 'Snitch' was her nickname prior to the camp weekend. Oshry said she would role-play as the camper in return.
The recurring joke sparked some inspiration to create a story in which a camper goes off to camp for the first time, nervous about how it will go, and creates a bond with the counselor — which ultimately helps the camper through the experience. Although the idea has been with her for years, Oshry said she didn’t feel ready to write it down until she became a mom in early 2022.
The Camper and The Counselor' by Jackie Oshry, published by Genius Cat Books, is available on Amazon and at other major retailers. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
