If you're looking for heartwarming stories and inspiring advice
on nurturing creativity in kids, you'll love this episode of the
Reading with Your Kids podcast. Host Jed Doherty welcomes back
children's author April Cox, who shares her incredible journey from
corporate IT professional to self-published author and coach.
April's "Little Labradoodle" book series started as a legacy
project for her grandkids, but has blossomed into a beloved
collection that tackles important themes like overcoming
insecurity, dealing with bullying, and embracing change. What makes
these books so special is the collaborative process April uses,
working closely with her own grandchildren to bring the stories to
life.
As April explains, the act of creating these books together has
been transformative for her family, strengthening bonds and
sparking creativity. She's even opening up a contest for other
families to co-author the next "Little Labradoodle" books, offering
scholarships and coaching to the winners.
But April isn't the only children's author featured in this
episode. Kathleen Davis also joins the conversation to discuss her
new book "Our Hearts," which celebrates the power of relationships
and finding joy, even in difficult times. Kathleen shares how her
own sensitive son inspired this uplifting story, and the importance
of teaching kids to focus on gratitude.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or simply someone who
appreciates the magic of children's literature, this episode is
sure to leave you feeling inspired. Jed, April, and Kathleen offer
practical tips, heartwarming anecdotes, and a reminder that the
time we spend nurturing creativity and connection with the young
people in our lives is truly priceless. So grab a cup of coffee,
get cozy, and get ready to be inspired!
