Looking for powerful children's books that spark curiosity, empathy, and environmental awareness? Our latest podcast episode dives into the incredible world of children's literature with two passionate authors who are changing how kids understand science, nature, and community.
Meet Carolyn Armstrong, the creative mind behind the "Climate Kid Adventures" series. Her middle-grade novels, like "Echo Warriors," take readers on thrilling environmental journeys. From exploring the polar bear habitats of Svalbard to uncovering the mysteries of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Armstrong transforms complex scientific concepts into engaging stories that inspire young readers to care about our planet.
Joining her is Courtney Cino, author of "Finally Home," a heartwarming picture book that offers a touching glimpse into military family life. Through the eyes of a young girl waiting for her Marine Corps pilot father to return, Cino illuminates the resilience, love, and sacrifice of military families.
Both authors share a common mission: to create books that are more than just stories. They're windows into different worlds, tools for understanding, and catalysts for empathy. Whether it's learning about monarch butterfly migrations or experiencing the emotional journey of a military homecoming, these books invite children to explore, question, and connect.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or book lover, this episode offers inspiration and hope. These "Moms On A Mission" are proving that children's literature can be a powerful force for positive change.
