What a treat we had on the latest episode of Reading with Your Kids! Jed Doherty welcomed back beloved author Kate Korsh to chat about her new chapter book "Oona BrambleGoops: Sideways Magic, Fairies vs. Leprechauns." Kate shared the sophisticated themes she wove into this delightful story, like the imperfections of mentors and the unexpected kindness of leprechauns. As an former elementary school teacher, Kate has a knack for creating characters kids can really connect with, like the enthusiastic and sometimes clumsy Oona.
But the real highlight was when Jed introduced the dynamic duo behind "The ABCs of Women's History" - author Rio Cortez and illustrator Lauren Semmer. This vibrant alphabet book introduces young readers to a diverse array of groundbreaking women, from the well-known to the unsung heroes. Rio and Lauren worked hard to ensure the book is accessible and inclusive, sparking important conversations about the past, present, and future.
Whether it's exploring the magic of fairies and leprechauns or diving into the rich history of remarkable women, these children's book creators are truly inspiring. Jed and the guests discussed the value of not shying away from complex topics in kids' literature, and how reading together can be a bonding experience for the whole family.
