TQ Townsend loves reading stories to children as well as examining them from a grown-up point of view. She also enjoys writing her own stories for families to enjoy together. A native of Los Angeles, she now lives in rural Leicestershire in England with her family.
Chloë Townsend is a show producer and occasional co-host. She is eleven years old and enjoys gymnastics, piano, climbing trees, riding bikes, and splashing in the creek down the road. She is a voracious reader, so much so that her books often have to be taken away from her at bedtime.
The Children’s Literature Podcast covers great literature for children, examining the great stories that inspired us as kids and that we share with kids today.
