Send us a textWhat if the definition of Home extended beyond walls and roofs to embrace connection to nature and each other? We explore this question with Newbery medalist Matt de la Peña, author of beloved books like Last Stop on Market Street and Carmela Full of Wishes. Matt opens up about his creative process and how real-life experiences influence his writing. Matt shares how personal anecdotes find their way into his work (think Patchwork with Corrina Luyken). Student questions lead us to explore how the universal magic of picture books can captivate everyone from preschoolers to adults.We deep dive into Love to Home (with Loren Long). Recent events like the fires in Los Angeles or the pandemic can act as disruptors, prompting a reevaluation of what truly constitutes a home. We talk about ways the writing process can take unexpected turns that lead to fresh discoveries and themes like reconnecting with nature. We also explore the themes of identity and resilience, especially for those standing on society's fringes. Chapters:1:05: Inspiration and Writing for Audiences of All Ages2:21: Patchworkand autobiographical seasonings5:16: Carmela Full of Wishesinspiration and a love letter to the Mexican side of Matt's identity7:22: From Love to Home15:14: What is Home? 21:41:  Challenges to books and conversations28:20: On the outside looking in: seeing things from a different perspective31:48: Matt gives us a sneak peek at Home37:28: Finding hope in challenging timesLinks:Matt De La Pena's WebsitePurchase Matt's booksConnect with Matt on Instagram, Facebook, and BlueSkySupport the showSubscribe & Follow: Stay updated with our latest episodes and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, and the Adventures in Learning website.

Wow, what an insightful and heartwarming conversation we had on the podcast today! We were joined by the dynamic duo behind the new picture book "Home" - author Matt de la Peña and illustrator Loren Long. These two creative minds really clicked as they shared the story behind their collaborative process. Matt explained that "Home" explores the evolving concept of home, inspired by his observations during the pandemic. He was fascinated by how homes took on new roles and how nature started to reclaim spaces. Loren, the perfect match for bringing these big ideas to life, shared how he relished the challenge of illustrating profound themes. The two clearly have a deep mutual respect, often finishing each other's thoughts as they described their fruitful partnership. But it wasn't all just about the book - Matt and Loren also touched on the importance of not shying away from complex topics in children's literature. They believe kids are more than ready to grapple with big ideas, as long as the stories offer hope and resilience too.  We also heard from debut author Allison McGauley, whose picture book "Kenzie's Little Tree" draws from her own family's experiences with chronic illness. Allison spoke passionately about the need to have open conversations with kids about difficult topics, something she learned firsthand. Her book aims to both reflect the realities of families facing health challenges and provide a window for those who haven't had that experience. Overall, this episode was a treasure trove of insights into the creative process, the power of representation in children's books, and the transformative role that open dialogue can play, even for our youngest readers. I'm sure listeners will come away feeling inspired and eager to share these meaningful stories with the little ones in their lives.

We review the book "Otis" by Loren Long.Support the show

This week on Mindful Monday we are talking about Bravery. Are you brave? What are you afraid of? Bravery is the experience of being afraid but believing that something else is more important than your fear. It is a choice, and a choice no one can make but yourself. We are going to look at two books that show someone making that choice to be brave. The first book is called Little Tree by Loren Long. This story talks about a little tree who is afraid to let go of its leaves. The tree finally makes a choice to be brave and let go and wonderful things happen. The second story is called Shy by Deborah Freedman. The character in this book is very happy when they are reading books but very afraid in the real world. One day they see a bird, their favourite thing in the world, and they decide to try and talk to it but the bird flies away. They follow the bird and finally make the choice to speak to the bird and it is gone. Will they ever get another chance? Remember you can make the choice to be brave.   Sleep Tight!
