In this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast, host Jed
Doherty has an engaging conversation with two very different guests
- children's author Diana Renn and author Kevin M Hall.
First, Jed speaks with Diana Renn about her "Backyard Rangers"
eco-mystery series, which follows a group of young wildlife
detectives investigating environmental crimes in their community.
Diana shares how her own experiences living near nature spots like
Walden Pond inspired the books, which aim to spark kids' curiosity
about the natural world. She offers tips for parents on helping
urban kids connect with the outdoors, even in small ways.
Later, Jed welcomes author Kevin M Hall, whose new book "Signs"
explores paranormal and unexplained phenomena. Kevin recounts a
personal story about a mysterious earring that reappeared in an
unexpected place, which prompted him to start researching and
documenting similar uncanny experiences.
Throughout the conversation, Kevin delves into the historical and
cultural significance of signs, symbols and omens, drawing from
diverse traditions like Egyptian, Druid and Native American
beliefs. He also interviews people who have had their own
supernatural encounters, including a movie star who had a
miraculous experience piloting a plane.
Whether discussing children's literature or the paranormal, both
guests share a passion for uncovering the extraordinary within the
ordinary. Jed is clearly fascinated by the wide range of topics
covered, from eco-mysteries to unexplained occurrences, reflecting
the podcast's broad appeal to curious listeners of all ages.
Overall, this episode of Reading with Your Kids offers an engaging
and thought-provoking exploration of the wonders - both natural and
supernatural - that exist all around us.
