SPARK: Jim West’s Electrifying Adventures in Creating the Microphone by Ainissa Ramirez

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Ainissa Ramirez about her new picture book: SPARK: Jim West’s Electrifying Adventures in Creating the Microphone.

This picture book is the first release in the new Black Innovators Series and showcases the incredible contributions of Jim West, the man who invented the microphone.

Come listen as we talk about how Ainissa found her way to children’s literature, the steep learning curve of writing for children that paid off, the Easter eggs you’ll find inside the illustrations of the book and her heartfelt hopes for readers.
