On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m ta On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Greg Howard about his newest book: THE TRAVELERS.

This middle grade novel blends mystery and a touch of time travel into a story about grief, friendship and the enduring bonds between generations. I hugged it when I was done reading it and the messages will stay with me for a long time.

Come listen as we talk about the personal connections Greg has to the story, the importance of writing real books with real issues for children, the important role the library plays in the book and why ALL readers need this book, even adult readers reading to their inner child. It’s that special.

Books make Mondays better! This week, I'm reading Books make Mondays better!

This week, I'm reading THE MEMORY LIBRARY by Kate Storey.

The book stole my heart in the opening pages where readers experience the connection between mother and daughter as they explore the world of books together. 

Here's the publisher's summary:

For forty-two years, Sally Harrison has been building a library. Each year, on her daughter’s birthday, she adds a new book to her shelves – with a note in the front dedicated to her own greatest work.

But Ella – Sally’s only child – fled to Australia twenty-one years ago after a heated exchange, and never looked back. And though Sally still dutifully adds a new paperback to the shelves every time the clock strikes midnight on July 11th, her hopes of her daughter ever thumbing through the pages are starting to dwindle.

Then disaster strikes and Ella is forced to return to the home she once knew. She is soon to discover that when one chapter ends, another will soon follow. All you have to do is turn the page…

Incredible, right?!

This delightful picture book is the first in a new series focused on silly how-to themes. It enchants readers with a step-by-step guide to being a wizard and teaches readers about perseverance, too. Just wait until you get lost in these illustrations!

Come listen as we talk about the parenting spark that launched Keith into the world of picture books, the humor found on the pages that will not only appeal to young readers, but their caregivers too, and his hopes for inviting readers into a shared reading experience that will be remembered and enjoyed.

Books make Mondays better! This week, I'm reading Books make Mondays better!

This week, I'm reading THE STATIONERY SHOP by Marjan Kamali.

Here's the opening summary from the publisher:

Roya, a dreamy, idealistic teenager living amid the political upheaval of 1953 Tehran, finds a literary oasis in kindly Mr. Fakhri’s neighborhood stationery shop, stocked with books and pens and bottles of jewel-colored ink.

Can you see why I chose it?! I'm about halfway in and while at first, I was taken with the idea of a book connected to a stationery shop, I'm completely connected to the compelling storyline that I've found myself living in. 

So far, it's a story of love and loss, of family and found family, of new starts and learning. I know there's more to come, too. 

What books are making your Monday better?
