Lindsay K-Madsen ,

Unique and thoughtful perspectives on children’s literature !

In the episode I’m listening to right now , the conversation pivoted from beautiful ways to communicate to children , to discussing the topic of representing marginalized voices in picture books . I am so grateful to have discovered these fresh , thoughtful perspectives on children’s literature and will absolutely be tuning in for future episodes . They are informative , interesting, and so far - have discussed books that have depth and meaning , alongside quality and aesthetically appealing illustrations /design . Thanks for creating this space Bookstagang !
