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. It's an episode you won't
want to miss!
