Hooked: A Pop Culture Podcast with Mary Carver

Hooked on Children's Books with Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young

My friend and friend of the show, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, is here today to talk about some of the children's books we're loving right now. You're in luck because we're both supremely qualified on this topic, as I'm a children's library worker and she's a children's author – but also, we can't resist talking about kids' books anytime we chat!

Of course, because side notes and rabbit trails are still welcome on this show, we do get a sneak peek into Dorina's newest writing project, while I share about the book reviewer I'm currently obsessed with. I know you'll love this episode, so let's get started!
