Do Grimm Fairy Tales Have A Place In Today's Kidlit?

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids we meet three fascinating authors. We first meet author A Kidd who returned to the show to celebrate  "Yasuko and the Dream Eater", which was inspired by a Japanese folk tale. She enjoyed bringing elements of Japanese culture to readers. We talk about fairy tales and ask if the original Grimm Fairy Tales have a place in today's Kidlit. We also meet author Nicholas Aragon, who writes the "Curly Crow" series. He took over the series after his mother wrote the first book. Nicholas discussed how writing helps him feel close to his mother and give back by visiting schools. We returned to the CT Book Festival to speak with Greg Slomba, an author of fantasy books for middle graders who creates whole new worlds for his stories.
