    Hearing The Heart, Solving The Maze

    Get ready for an inspiring and heartwarming episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast! Today, we're chatting with two incredible authors who are using their talents to make a real difference in the lives of young readers. First up, we'll be talking to Hannah Jessen Conway about her beautiful new picture book, "Love Sounds Like." Hannah's story is a personal one - it was inspired by the journey of her own son who was born profoundly deaf. As Hannah shares, learning of her son's hearing loss was a major adjustment, but it also sparked an incredible idea.  "Love Sounds Like" explores the many ways we can experience love beyond just sound - through our senses of sight, touch, smell, and taste. It's a powerful message, beautifully brought to life through Hannah's lyrical writing and the stunning illustrations. But this book isn't just for families with deaf or hard-of-hearing children. Hannah wanted to create something that would resonate with all kids, celebrating the diverse ways we can connect and show affection. Next, we'll be joined by Kjartan Poskit, the author of the interactive "Mega Math Maze" activity book. Kjartan has been writing math-focused books for decades, with a unique approach that makes the subject fun and engaging. His new book challenges young readers to navigate intricate mazes - but there's a catch. The only way to complete the mazes is by solving math problems along the way, putting their times tables knowledge to the test. Whether you have a math whiz at home or a kiddo who struggles with numbers, Kjartan's innovative style is sure to capture their imagination. He's on a mission to show that math can be an adventure, not a chore - and judging by the global feedback he's received, he's definitely succeeding. So join us for an uplifting conversation about the power of inclusive storytelling, the joy of learning, and the incredible impact that passionate authors can have.

    Building Blocks Of Language

    If your kids struggle with time management and staying on task, you'll want to tune in to this insightful conversation with Mindy Hudon, the author of the new middle-grade graphic novel "Kodi's Adventure: How I Learned to Defeat the Time Snatcher." As a speech-language pathologist specializing in executive function skills, Mindy has a unique perspective on the challenges kids face when it comes to planning, organization, and time management. In this episode, she shares how she created the character of the "Time Snatcher" to represent the distractions and obstacles that can derail kids, especially those with ADHD or other neurodiverse conditions. Mindy explains the importance of executive function skills, which involve the frontal lobe of the brain and are crucial for everything from completing tasks to regulating our thoughts and behaviors. She emphasizes that these skills continue developing until around age 25, and often lag behind in kids with special needs. That's where Mindy's expertise as a speech therapist comes in - she's dedicated to helping kids and families overcome these hurdles. Later in the episode, we hear from Lavelle Carlson, the author of the picture book "Quirky, the Quirky Cow: The Cuckoo Concert." As a fellow speech-language pathologist, Lavelle shares her own journey into the field and the rewards of helping children develop their unique strengths and abilities. Throughout the conversation, both Mindy and Lavelle discuss the importance of interactive reading, the power of analog clocks, and the ways they've used their expertise to create resources and support for families. Whether you have a child who battles the "Time Snatcher" or you're simply looking to nurture executive function skills, this episode is packed with practical tips and insights you won't want to miss.
