What a treat we had on the latest episode of Reading with Your
Kids! Jed Doherty welcomed back beloved author Kate Korsh to chat
about her new chapter book "Oona BrambleGoops: Sideways Magic,
Fairies vs. Leprechauns." Kate shared the sophisticated themes she
wove into this delightful story, like the imperfections of mentors
and the unexpected kindness of leprechauns. As an former elementary
school teacher, Kate has a knack for creating characters kids can
really connect with, like the enthusiastic and sometimes clumsy
Oona.
But the real highlight was when Jed introduced the dynamic duo
behind "The ABCs of Women's History" - author Rio Cortez and
illustrator Lauren Semmer. This vibrant alphabet book introduces
young readers to a diverse array of groundbreaking women, from the
well-known to the unsung heroes. Rio and Lauren worked hard to
ensure the book is accessible and inclusive, sparking important
conversations about the past, present, and future.
Whether it's exploring the magic of fairies and leprechauns or
diving into the rich history of remarkable women, these children's
book creators are truly inspiring. Jed and the guests discussed the
value of not shying away from complex topics in kids' literature,
and how reading together can be a bonding experience for the whole
family.

episode of Reading with Your Kids. With their passion for
storytelling and commitment to empowering young readers, these
