I grew up in Upstate NY with my parents and 2 sisters, whom are featured in many of my books, including "Dim Sum For Everyone!" and my novels, "The Year of the Dog" and "The Year of the Rat." My mother and I were the star characters in my first book, "The Ugly Vegetables"--I cut both my sisters out of that story! They were quite upset with me and made me promise never to cut them out again. And since then, I haven't...yet. While many of my books highlight my family, not all of them do. My Newbery Honor-winning novel "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon," is an Asian inspired fantasy that some people call a Chinese 'Wizard of Oz,' and my early reader "Ling & Ting" is inspired by the old 'Flicka, Dicka & Ricka' books I read when I was young. I hope you enjoy my books. Please visit my website: www.gracelin.com for more info about them (behind the scene stories and pictures) as well as other amusing anecdotes!

Grace Lin (The Year of the Dog, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon) shares her thoughts on the value art provides to those who experience it and those who create it, and how it contributes to getting us in touch with our own humanity.****On Today's Show"Maybe if they haven't been in that situation, they know someone who has, or they have friends who have really struggled with losing loved ones. That all helps build empathy." - Karina Yan Glaser Karina Yan Glaser is always emotionally honest in her stories. Pulling largely from her own experiences, she lets her feelings seep onto the pages in a way that makes it impossible not to feel as a reader. But despite writing for children, she doesn't hide any of those hard emotions such as anger, sadness, and grief. She believes in the power of stories to help kids practice empathy and be prepared for the tough situations we all face in life.Her takes on community, diversity, and hardship are what make her series The Vanderbeekers such a success. In this episode of The Reading Culture, she joins to share how her own reading journey has shaped who she is as a writer and how she approaches building empathy into her stories.Karina has also developed a reading challenge in partnership with Beanstack for listeners and Beanstack partners. Her theme is books where New York City is a character.

This is a revisited episode where Lisa replays her discussion with Kate Reynolds a librarian from Canada. They first spoke in February 2022 to discuss Dr. Seuss Enterprises' decision in February 2021 not to ‘publish six books. This episode is being published on March 2, 2023, his birthday and Read Across America Day.  Kate is known as the Lavender Librarian and is an openly autistic and queer librarian from Canada. In 2021, she founded Storytime Solidarity to create inclusive StoryTimes that welcome everyone. You can find her on instagram, Facebook and Twitter. This discussion highlights the importance of representing all children in picture books. In studying more than 50 Seuss books, this analysis shows 2% of characters in the books are minorities, and no little girls of color are in the collection. Plus, Lisa and Kate talk about the types of roles minority and female characters play in the books as well. Philip Nel, a scholar of children's literature, writes on this topic, and you can find him here. He has written several books about Dr. Seuss, including: Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books.  Books discussed on the show: A Big Mooncake for Little Star by Grace LinWhat Will Fit by Grace LinThe Ugly Vegetables by Grace LinWhere the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace LinGo, Otto, Go! by David Milgrim Going Somewhere by David Milgrim  An Elephant & Piggie Biggie by Mo WillemsThe Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson  For more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 45! More diverse stories have been on the rise in the last decade or so… especially in books. One of the most accomplished authors who has led the charge is Grace Lin, the award-winning writer of picture books, early readers, and novels including Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, Ling & Ting, and A Big Mooncake for Little Star. She's one of the few authors who has won both the Caldecott and Newbery honors… not to mention a 2016 Champion of Change honor and the 2022 Children's Literature Legacy Award from the American Library Association. We had such a wonderful time in our conversation with Grace Lin, and we were fan-girling and fan-boying pretty hard. She was so amazingly articulate and gracious with her time and stories. We had a chance to talk about her start in writing and illustrating, the honors she's received, her activism, how she developed a mindset of reckless bravery, and what's next in her career. Be sure to check-out her talks on PBS NewsHour “Your favorite book from childhood might be racist” and TEDx Natick "The Windows and Mirrors of Your Child's Bookshelf.” She's also an active podcaster with Kids Ask Authors, Book Friends Forever, and kidlitwomen*.

This episode is being published on March 2, which is his birthday and Read Across America Day. Kate is known as the Lavender Librarian and is an openly autistic and queer librarian from Canada. In 2021, she founded Storytime Solidarity to create inclusive StoryTimes that welcome everyone. You can find her on instagram, Facebook and Twitter.This discussion highlights the importance of the representation of all children in picture books. In studying more than 50 Seuss books, this analysis shows 2% of characters in the books are minorities and there aren't any little girls who aren't white in the collection. Plus, Lisa and Kate talk about the types of roles minority and female characters play in the books as well. Philip Nel, a scholar of children's literature, writes on this topic and you can find him here. He has written several books about Dr. Seuss, including: Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books. Books discussed on the show: A Big Mooncake for Little Star by Grace LinWhat Will Fit by Grace LinThe Ugly Vegetables by Grace LinWhere the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace LinGo, Otto, Go! by David Milgrim Going Somewhere by David Milgrim  An Elephant & Piggie Biggie by Mo WillemsThe Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson For more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.

Every year, our Read-Aloud Revival Team watches the American Library Association Youth Media Awards together. These are the official awards of ALA. Some you'll recognize, like the Caldecott, the Newbery and the Coretta Scott King Awards. But others are not quite as well known ... The ALA Youth Media Awards honor books that have been published in the previous year, so this year's awards ceremony in January 2022 was honoring books that had been published in the year 2021 only. For this episode the RAR team gathered together to talk about the announcements that made us cheer, the familiar faces that we loved seeing win, and ... ...just a few books that we think should have gotten some ALA love.

Social Media www.facebook.com/ninameehan     https://www.instagram.com/nmeehan/ instagram.com/bactheatre    https://www.instagram.com/bactheatre   https://www.facebook.com/bakctheatre    I am the founder of Bay Area children's theatre which me and my friends started 18 years ago and we have produced enough shows to reach literally a million people. [2:58] The part that I think is the most exciting for me is the growth from where we started to now having professional adult actors for family and student audiences and also working with young people. [3:35] The growth of the organization has truly been because of the demand from the community. [4:07] What I have learned over those years as a theatre creator is that art and creativity bring all the soft skills into our world. [4:26] Kids in a lot of ways are far more willing to take that risk of getting up there on stage than adults. [6:40] The power of what it looks like to see a kid stand up and own their art, reflects self-confidence and independence which are skills that children need. [7:35] We did online theatre during the pandemic and interestingly, the same transformative moments were experienced, where participants owned and took charge of their performances. [7:52] The power of theatre to transform and shock potential is so hug [8:10] What I've seen with the adults that we engage with that is interesting, is the conversation that their children's performances initiate afterwards. [8:15] As adults we are often putting limitations on ourselves with the excuse that we are not artists yet maybe we are. [12:27] I have loved working with kids for 18 years and it's been so beautiful seeing adults try to take the step to be creative. [12:55] The more that we can open that potential and that opportunity to redefine what it is to be a creative in our current modern world the more we can be creative and express ourselves. [13:50] We are programmed to be creative beings and that comes in lots of different shapes and forms. [16:26] Encouraging the people around us is important because that is our power, considering so much of being creative is about just allowing ourselves the permission to do it. [18:22] The more that we can say how we feel and appreciate art, the more we can have moments where we can value the creativity in the people around us. [18:52] Commercial break. [20:25] In terms of giving back to your community, I think it is so important to look around and see who in your community is doing work that is inspiring the next generation to become creative leaders. [22:43] We all want empathetic humans taking over from us in the next generation. [ We are all working on a shoestring but there is a whole world of non-profit organizations out there that would love to have support in different ways. [23:45] The other part of it is really looking into your own being and finding your own creative moments that brings you joy, and bring that into your adult world. [24:23] For entrepreneurs, for those who run businesses, board service for non-profit organizations is an insanely huge and powerful gift you can give back to your community. [26:23] The way non-profit sector is set up, we cannot function without a dedicated arm that is our board of directors. [26:44] Find time today to try creative play and just see what happens.
