    Books As Catalysts For Change

    In this episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes author Elly Swartz to discuss her new middle grade novel "Same Page." Elly shares the inspiring story behind the book, which follows a determined young girl named Bess who forms a group of "book warriors" - a team of rock star librarians - to fight a book ban at her school.  Elly explains how the visual of books being removed from a school book vending machine was a key part of the story, as she wanted to empower kids to take action and make a difference. The conversation then turns to the vital role of libraries and librarians, with Elly expressing deep gratitude for these community pillars who provide safe spaces for kids to learn and grow. Jed and Elly also dive into the themes of empathy, listening, and understanding different perspectives - core elements of Elly's writing. They discuss how books can serve as "windows, mirrors and sliding glass doors," allowing readers to see themselves, learn about others, and make meaningful connections. The chat also covers the importance of media literacy, as Jed and Elly stress the need for kids (and adults!) to think critically about the information they consume online. Elly shares her own "backpack challenge" exercise, which encourages people to decide what traits and experiences they want to carry with them. Throughout the conversation, Elly's passion for storytelling, libraries, and empowering young readers shines through. Listeners are sure to come away inspired to visit their local library, pick up "Same Page," and have thoughtful discussions with the young readers in their lives. We also welcome back author Pat Zietlow Miller to discuss her new non-fiction picture book "Unstoppable John." Pat explains how she was inspired to write the book after hearing civil rights icon John Lewis recount his experience as a 16-year-old being denied a library card in segregated Alabama. This pivotal moment sparked Lewis' lifelong commitment to fighting for equality and access, which Pat wanted to highlight. Pat emphasizes the importance of libraries as community hubs and the vital role librarians play in providing resources and services. Pat shares her admiration for Lewis and hopes the book will inspire young readers to learn more about his remarkable legacy. Throughout the conversation, Jed and Pat discuss the power of storytelling to build empathy and understanding, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in civil rights history and the transformative impact of books.

    I Move A Lot & That's OK

    If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a part of a military family, this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast is a must-listen. We had the pleasure of chatting with Shermaine Perry-Knights, the author of the "I Move a Lot, and That's Okay" children's book series, and she shared some truly eye-opening insights. Shermaine, who comes from a military family herself, wrote these books to help kids navigate the challenges of frequent moves and adjusting to new environments. As she explained, military children often change schools 6-9 times between kindergarten and graduation - that's a lot of upheaval! But Shermaine's stories don't just focus on the difficulties; they also highlight the incredible benefits of a multicultural upbringing. Through her main character, Grace, readers get to experience the excitement of moving to a new country, learning a new language, and making new friends. But they also see the heartbreak of losing a beloved toy and the struggle to fit in. It's a relatable journey that touches on real-world issues like bullying, grief, and the importance of empathy. While Shermaine's "I Move a Lot, and That's Okay" series explores these themes, the "Rescue Quest" middle-grade book series, written by author Michelle Reeves, blends emotional storylines with the fantastical world of Minecraft. By setting part of the adventure in the beloved video game, Reeves is able to engage even the most reluctant readers and spark their creativity. Whether you're a military family looking for representation, or simply a parent who wants to foster more understanding and compassion in your child, these book series are must-reads. Both Shermaine and Michelle's warmth and wisdom shine through on every page, and you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made by our service members and their loved ones. So why not dive into these captivating stories today? Your kids (and you!) are sure to be captivated by the adventure, the characters, and the powerful messages about resilience, friendship, and the beauty of embracing change.
