Reading With Your Kids Podcast

Get ready for an incredible journey through children's literature that will inspire, educate, and warm your heart! In this episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty sits down with three remarkable authors who are changing the landscape of children's books one page at a time. First up is Wunneanatsu Lamb Cason, who shares the magical story behind "Grandmother Moon," a beautiful picture book that bridges generations and cultural understanding. Inspired by her own grandmother's teachings, Wunneanatsu creates a touching narrative that celebrates indigenous storytelling and the powerful bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Next, we dive into historical fiction with Darlene Campos and her middle-grade novel "The Center of the Earth." This eye-opening book explores the little-known story of Jewish refugees who found safety in Ecuador during the Holocaust. Campos brings history to life through the eyes of young characters, proving that children's literature can be both educational and deeply moving.
