Annie Parsons is a graduate homeschooler who lives at home, saves her money for family trips to England, and somehow still finds time to read widely, support her friends, teach remotely, and charm preschoolers during storytime at the library. She's an illustrator and storyteller with a quiet wit, a love of video games, and a deep appreciation for the little things that make life feel magical. Her art reflects all of that—warm, whimsical, and full of heart.

“I think kids are actually generally a better audience for literary fiction, for art, for ambitious storytelling that asks the reader to do work. And a lot of that is just based on how their brains work and their place in the world.” - Mac BarnettGrowing up, Mac Barnett's mom never took their picture books off their shelves. They remained a part of his reading world, even as he grew up and could read more mature books. Maybe that choice helped Mac's youthful spirit alight for longer. As he often notes, kids' minds are portals to the imaginary, to making believe. For them, everything is possible: superheroes, magic, ghosts. Mac believes that open-mindedness is crucial to fully understanding and appreciating fiction, which is why he makes the argument that kids are the best audience for fiction, and in particular, picture books. Mac Barnett is a best-selling, prolific children's author celebrated for his clever, imaginative storytelling and sharp sense of humor. He is known for books like “Extra Yarn,” “Sam and Dave Dig a Hole,” “The Terrible Two,” series and the “Mac B, Kid Spy” series. He has received numerous accolades, including two Caldecott Honors and the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award. In this episode, Mac shares why he believes that most adults struggle to understand what makes a good children's book. He also unpacks “Frog and Toad” as a work of experimental fiction and reflects on the lessons he's learning from his three-year-old son. Given Mac's passion for picture books, it's fitting that his reading challenge centers around them. For his challenge, “The Possibilities of Picture Books,” he has curated a selection designed to help us see the capaciousness of the picture book format—just as his mother once did for him.

A picture book is a story told in words and illustrations. And when it comes to The Jesus Storybook Bible, Sally's storytelling partner is the talented artist, Jago!

It's quite a strange feeling, really, as an illustrator to realize that somebody's whole idea of what Jonah and the giant fish looks like is based on a picture that I drew fifteen years ago.” – Jago    Guest's Links Website Jago's Twitter Jago's Facebook Resources Mentioned in This Episode Sam and Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

School librarian Tricia Fraser shares how educators and parents can foster a love of reading in their children. Don't miss her book suggestions for all ages! Click to read the article by Tricia “When we slow down and read a book, it gives us an opportunity to think about things deeply and to use our imaginations.” “When kids have a choice of what to read, it helps them discover more of what they like.” “We want to be modeling a love of books, we want to be sharing books with them, because the goal is to have them have their own motivation to read that's internal.” “The single biggest thing that anybody - teachers and parents - can do to help kids learn to love to read is to read to them.” Battle of the Books Sources for finding books: Redeemed Reader, Read-Aloud Revival, WORLD Magazine, Triple Crown Awards, The Tome Society, Shadow Mountain Tricia's recent read: Within These Lines by Stephanie Morrill Keane's recent reads: Sam and Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett and Bo the Brave by Bethan Woollvin Christian authors with undertones of Christian worldview: Books by N.

On episode #31 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew and Elysha Dicks talk storytelling! In our followup segment, we talk about two emails received related to Homework for Life, including a sample of Homework for Life from the 1800's! Next, we talk about finding and collecting stories in your everyday life using "Homework for Life." We talk about the value of waiting to tell a story, the possibility that you are in the midst of a story, and the way that some stories can stretch across decades.  Next we listen to David Ring's story about a trial, a possible death penalty, and a hit ordered on his life. After listening, we discuss: A great first sentence The way that choices about description and learning description in a certain way can help tell the story The power of contrast in description "Nonfiction" in storytelling The appropriate absence of humor in storytelling The elimination of "I remember..." from stories Next, we answer questions about using Homework for Life to recapture recorded memories and the differences between personal narrative storytelling and the telling of folktales, fables, fiction, or informational text.  Finally, we each offer a recommendation.   LINKS Homework for Life: https://bit.ly/2f9ZPne Matthew Dicks's website: http://www.matthewdicks.com Matthew Dicks's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/matthewjohndicks  Subscribe to Matthew Dicks's weekly newsletter:  http://www.matthewdicks.com/matthewdicks-subscribe Subscribe to the Speak Up newsletter:  http://www.matthewdicks.com/subscribe-speak-up RECOMMEDATIONS Elysha: Sam and Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett https://amzn.to/2AzQUTG Meanwhile by Jules Feiffer https://amzn.to/2SFZGqv Cookies by Amy Krouse Rosenthal https://amzn.to/2RBX1AO You May Want to Marry My Husband by Amy Krouse Rosenthal https://nyti.ms/2mNuQg1  Matt Born a Crime: Stories of a South African Child https://amzn.to/2FivM7V  Trevor Noah's "The Brick https://bit.ly/2NR9XAF

We Found a Hat (Candlewick Press) Hold on to your hats for the conclusion of the celebrated hat trilogy by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen. Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles, and there is only one hat. . . . Evoking hilarity and sympathy, the shifting yes tell the tale in this brilliantly paced story in three parts, highlighting Jon Klassen’s visual comedy and deceptive simplicity. The delicious buildup takes an unexpected turn that is sure to please loyal fans and newcomers alike. Praise for We Found A Hat *“In this concluding volume of a thematic trilogy, Klassen employs all his trademark dry wit and deadpan humor to tell the story of a hat-related caper. . . . The conclusion might surprise even those familiar with Klassen’s twist endings, and the growing tensions, simple narrative, and  intriguing details will endear this to many.” – Booklist (starred review) *“Readers who think they know what's coming will be wrong... Instead, Klassen considers the instant at which a decision to act can break either way, depending on who's tempted and whether anyone else is watching. In contrast to the first two books, which relied on a certain conspiratorial menace, this one ends with a moment of grace and a sky full of stars. All three stories are about justice. It's just that justice doesn't always mean the same thing.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review) *“A different but wholly delightful and thought-provoking capper to Klassen’s ingenious series.” – School Library Journal (starred review) *“The tenderness in this book (with its uplifting ending) is just as surprising  as the black humor in the earlier ones. While the book is richer in the context of the two previous volumes, Klassen leaves enough space for uninitiated readers to make their own meaning out of this story about a hat—but, here, also about an enduring and precious friendship.” – The Horn Book (starred review) Jon Klassen is the author-illustrator of I Want My Hat Back, a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book, and This Is Not My Hat, winner of the Caldecott Medal. He is the illustrator of two Caldecott Honor Books, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole and Extra Yarn, both written by Mac Barnett, as well as House Held Up by Trees, written by Ted Kooser. Originally from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Jon Klassen now lives in Los Angeles.
