In this episode of Reading With Your Kids Jedlie welcomed
children's author Kim Larson to chat about her early reader book,
"Goats Boat Won't Float." Kim explained the key differences between
picture books and early readers - picture books have more complex
vocabulary, while early readers focus on simple, engaging stories
that new readers can tackle on their own.
Kim shared the inspiration behind her hilarious tale of a fainting
goat and a flighty turkey. Turns out, she got the idea from
visiting her grandkids' hobby farm and seeing those silly fainting
goats in action. The book is full of slapstick humor that'll have
kids giggling.
We also heard from author Christine McDonald, who wrote the
delightful picture book "Just Imagine a More Beautiful World."
Christine's story centers on helping kids feel safe, secure, and
centered - perfect for easing back-to-school jitters. She shared
awesome tips for using breath work and visualization to help little
ones tap into their heart energy.
