    Whimsical Worlds & Authentic Affirmations

    In this episode of Reading With Your Kids host Jed Doherty had a chance to  catch up with he queen of whimsy, Sheri Fink. Sheri told us all about her latest children's book, Magenta. This 17th book from Sheri is truly special - it features elaborate illustrations and a mesmerizing holographic rainbow gold cover that dances in the light.  Sheri shared the creative process behind Magenta's stunning visuals, explaining how she collaborated with her printer to bring her vision to life. "I wanted something really special, not just a basic gold foil," Sheri told us. After seeing samples, they landed on the magical holographic effect that makes the cover seem to shimmer. The story of Magenta follows a lost kitten who discovers a magical cottage and gets enchanted with powers by a young sorceress. Sheri's whimsical tales always spark kids' imaginations, and Magenta is no exception. She loves helping young readers imagine themselves in fantastical situations and learn valuable life lessons. Sheri also opened up about how becoming a mom has changed her writing process. Instead of marathon sessions, she's had to become a "sprinter," efficiently using short windows of time to write. But she's found that this has made her an even better author. Next, we chatted with sister duo Sharmilla Fassbender and her sister Sharminey Selvanathan about their uplifting picture book, Fantastically Me. This celebration of self-love and authenticity is so important in today's world of social media and constant comparison. Shaminey explained that the book's message is simple: "Life is better when you're yourself, authentically yourself." She and Shamilla want to empower kids to be proud of who they are, not try to be someone else. The sisters have a wonderfully collaborative writing process, taking turns drafting the rhyming text and combining their ideas in a shared document. And they see their meetups as joyful family time, enjoying the "chaos" of parenting young kids. Both Sheri and the Fantastically Me authors are creating books that celebrate individuality and inspire young readers. It was a pleasure chatting with these talented, passionate writers.

    Jason Gray on Finding Faith and Overcoming Adversity

    In this episode, Jed Doherty had the pleasure of chatting with acclaimed singer-songwriter Jason Gray about his debut children's book "Sparrows." Jason shared the heartwarming story behind the book, which follows a young girl named Ellie who is learning to overcome her speech impediment and bullying.  Jason explained how the book's themes of faith, compassion, and finding inner strength were inspired by his own life experiences growing up with a speech handicap. He beautifully described how music first helped him connect with God's love, and how he hopes "Sparrows" can provide that same sense of comfort and encouragement to young readers. Jed commented on how the book's relatable protagonist and subtle spiritual elements make it an accessible read for families of all faith backgrounds. Jason emphasized his goal of creating stories that are "fun and accessible" and help foster a love of reading in kids. We then had the chance to speak with up-and-coming children's book author DK Ryland, whose debut picture book "Have You Seen My Acorn?" is generating buzz. DK shared how her background as a professional softball player and wildlife filmmaker in Africa has influenced her "fun and subversive" storytelling style.

Her own multifaceted creative journey is an inspiring example of this philosophy in action. Overall, this episode is a delightful exploration of the power of children's literature to entertain, educate and empower young readers. Both Jason and DK's insights are sure to resonate with parents and book lovers alike.

    Bringing Stories To Life For Readers Of All Abilities

    On this episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty had the pleasure of chatting with two passionate creators making waves in the children's book world.  First up was Richard Reiman, also known as the "Audiobook Wizard." Richard shared his mission to make children's books accessible to all, including those with visual impairments or other disabilities. He described how he adds rich audio descriptions to children's picture books, allowing blind and low-vision kids to fully experience the stories and illustrations.  "It's a whole different experience," Richard explained. "We have professional describers who work with us to paint a vivid picture with words." He's even assembled an all-blind cast for an accessible version of The Wizard of Oz, bringing diverse representation to a classic tale. Richard also touched on the challenges of getting major publishers on board, but shared his optimism that change is coming, especially as more indie authors embrace accessibility in their crowdfunding campaigns. Next, Jed chatted with debut picture book author Barbara Thompson about her charming story, Have You Seen My Sock? Barbara shared how the book, featuring a determined young boy searching for his favorite dinosaur sock, was inspired by her own experiences as a single mom and the antics of her grandson, Mason. "It was almost like having a full-time job, going to college all over again," Barbara said of the self-publishing process. But the thrill of holding the finished book made it all worthwhile. She even hopes to collaborate with children's hospitals to share the story with young readers facing health challenges. Both Richard and Barbara's stories highlight the power of children's books to entertain, educate and inspire readers of all abilities. It's a heartwarming reminder of the magic that can happen when passionate creators bring their visions to life.

If you're looking for a children's book that will spark your kid's imagination and love of reading, you'll want to check out "American Stonehenge: The Adventures of Jimmy and Andrew" by Mike Goldstein. In this delightful interview, Goldstein shares the inspiration behind his new fantasy series and how he's making history and geography fun for young readers. Goldstein explains that the book follows a young boy named Jimmy and his 3,000-year-old telepathic dog, Andrew, as they embark on an adventure to a mysterious archaeological site in Washington that resembles the famous Stonehenge. But this isn't your typical history lesson - the story seamlessly blends the present-day adventure with flashbacks to Andrew's past lives in places like ancient Egypt and early England.  What really sets this book apart are the stunning illustrations. Goldstein spent two years ensuring each chapter had a full-page, hand-painted illustration opposite the text, creating an immersive reading experience for families. He was adamant about this unique layout, wanting kids and parents to be able to read and explore the visuals together. Becoming a first-time children's book author wasn't easy, but Goldstein's passion for storytelling and getting kids excited about learning shines through. He even started his own publishing company to bring his vision to life. And the hard work has paid off - the book is receiving rave reviews from readers of all ages and faiths. So if you're looking to ignite your child's curiosity about history and culture, be sure to pick up a copy of "American Stonehenge." With its engaging narrative and gorgeous illustrations, this book is a must-read for any family who loves adventure, reading together, and exploring the world.       Maria Antonia also joined us to celebrate her new picture book "The Christmas Elephant" is a delightful story that's sure to capture the hearts of families everywhere. Inspired by her own niece's love for elephants, the book follows a young girl named Ellie who dreams of dressing up as an elephant for her church's nativity play. But her older sister Piper, who's directing the play, isn't having it - "there were no elephants in Bethlehem!" Despite the challenges, plucky Ellie finds a way to save the day when the baby Jesus prop goes missing. Maria drew from her own experiences directing Christmas plays to bring this heartwarming tale to life, and she even included some fascinating elephant facts in the back. Whether your family celebrates the holiday or not, "The Christmas Elephant" is a charming read that celebrates the power of imagination, family, and the magic of the season.
