    Children's Books, Picture Books | Ep 68

    Welcome to our special Children's Literature Episode! Today we dive deep into the world of picture books, storytelling for kids, and graphic novels. We are joined by two incredible special guests: award-winning author and illustrator Zeke Peña, and Ryan from Fayetteville's own independent children's bookstore, Dad Suggests. What we thought would be a simple conversation about kid-lit turned out to be something far richer, with unexpected turns and genuine things to say about the human experience. Don't let the genre fool you—great children's stories have incredible depth.
