The Children’s Literature Podcast examines children’s books for teachers, parents, and maybe even a few savvy teenagers. This podcast looks into the background and cultural context of a story, helping educators and parents to deliver deeper understanding to the kids they teach. With each episode you’ll find lessons, activities, and fun that can bring a story to life whether it’s being read at home or taught in the classroom. You’ll also find original fiction, musical arrangements, and artwork by TQ Townsend here.
