For the Love of Literacy podcast Katie Storey

Get your notebook & pen ready to jot down a few new picture books Stephanie talks about & enjoy the rest of our conversation about kidlit & sharing reading tips together.

You want to learn more about the world of children's literature? Join me as I interview Stephanie Willis, @theliteracyparty, librarian bookstagrammer & podcast host to discuss things like how to get reluctant readers reading & what books she & I like to share with kiddos.

If you have wondered what the best things are to get your kid reading, once they've graduated from the early readers & easy chapter books, this episode is for you! I share benefits of reading graphic novels, as well as many book recommendations-- get a pencil ready to jot down some ideas while you listen!

I interviewed self-published author Becky Cummings, & we discuss all things from being a busy mom, to a writing career, & then why Becky wrote the Magic of Me series (& how it can benefit everyone!) Also learn about Becky's newest children's book, just published last month.

You won't want to miss my interview with life coach, TEDx speaker & author Terry Sidford. We discuss her book "One Hundred Hearts," & the ins & outs of writing & publishing. But we also delve into what it means to have courage or identify courage in ourselves & why it's a meaningful life skill for everyone!

I got to sit down & chat with the youngest author I've ever met; 8-year-old Holly Marshall, who wrote a chapter book during the pandemic last year. She's charming & fascinating-- you won't want to miss this conversation! Holly helps me reemphasize the importance of writing too.
