Get ready for an extraordinary episode that brings history to life and tackles childhood emotions through two incredible storytellers! This week, we're diving into the worlds of Will Rogers and a nervous Yeti, exploring how powerful narratives can inspire and comfort kids.
First up, meet Bart Taylor, the official Will Rogers interpreter from Oklahoma, who's on a mission to make history exciting for young readers. Taylor shares the incredible story of Will Rogers, a 1920s superstar who was not just a comedian and movie star, but a cowboy with 88 unique rope tricks. Through his passionate storytelling, Taylor reveals how Rogers connected with millions of Americans and embodied the values of empathy, kindness, and compromise - qualities we desperately need today.
In the second half of our adventure, author and illustrator Leigh Anne Carter introduces "Yeti is Not Ready For School," a charming picture book about first-day-of-school jitters. Carter's personal experiences and love for monsters shine through as she creates a relatable story that helps children navigate big emotions. She emphasizes the magic of picture books - those precious moments when kids snuggle up with loved ones and explore stories together.
Both guests highlight the transformative power of reading. Taylor shows how history can be thrilling when told with passion, while Carter demonstrates how illustrations can help children process complex feelings. Their approaches might seem different, but they share a common goal: connecting with kids through storytelling.
Whether you're interested in historical figures, monster tales, or simply want to spark meaningful conversations with your children, this episode offers something for everyone. Tune in and discover how books can inspire, comfort, and educate in the most delightful ways possible.
