In this heartwarming episode of Reading with Your Kids, we dive
into the magical world of children's literature with two passionate
authors who are transforming how kids think about reading, writing,
and making a difference.
Rae Marsh, author of the Love Maggie series, shares her incredible
journey of creating books that truly resonate with children.
Inspired by her own daughters, Marsh developed a chapter book and
middle-grade novel series that captures the everyday experiences of
kids. Her approach is simple yet powerful: encourage children to
write about what they know and love.
During school visits, Marsh lights up when discussing her mission
to inspire young writers. She challenges students to look around
their own lives for storytelling inspiration, showing them that
their personal experiences are valuable and worth sharing. Her
books follow Maggie, a character based on her daughter, navigating
school, family, and personal growth.
Joining the conversation is Phil Hall, author of "The Day the
Children Save the World," who takes a slightly different approach.
Hall's book focuses on pro-social behaviors, teaching children how
their actions can positively impact the world around them. Through
26 alphabetical examples, he demonstrates how small acts of
kindness can create meaningful connections.
Both authors share a common goal: empowering children to understand
their potential. They believe kids can make a significant
difference through creativity, empathy, and intentional actions.
Whether it's through storytelling or everyday kindness, these
authors are helping shape the next generation of compassionate,
confident individuals.
Listeners will be inspired by the authors' passion, humor, and
commitment to nurturing young minds. The episode offers a
delightful glimpse into the world of children's literature and the
incredible power of storytelling.
