    Growing up is an experience of small wonders and worries. It is in the smallest slices of everyday life that we get to encounter the big feelings that hide in quiet moments. Our favorite books are filled with characters that compel us to reflect on our early experiences and recognize the profound influence of the teachers who shaped us. In this episode, we explore the extraordinary aspects of ordinary life through the rhythmic cadence of Kevin Henkes’ The Year of Billy Miller and the illustrated storytelling in Lynne Rae Perkins’ At Home in a Far Away Place.

But to us, they seem so jam-packed, full of really big things. They don’t seem quiet to us at all.” — Lynne Rae Perkins, author of At Home in a Far Away Place “I think Kevin writes about feelings and experiences that we all share in one way or another, including hard feelings and experiences.” — Lynne Rae Perkins, author of At Home in a Far Away Place “Part of being an author of picture books is that you are writing for two audiences. You are writing for the children and you are writing for the parents.” — Lynne Rae Perkins, author of At Home in a Far Away Place “I think you can have a little interaction with somebody that takes 30 seconds, but it can be part of the thing that keeps you on board.” — Lynne Rae Perkins, author of At Home in a Far Away Place

  • The Wisdom of Witches: Finding Ourselves in Fantasies (ft. Rhianna Pratchett, Gabrielle Kent, & Marieke Nijkamp)

    The Wisdom of Witches: Finding Ourselves in Fantasies (ft. Rhianna Pratchett, Gabrielle Kent, & Marieke Nijkamp)
    2025/09/02
    Some stories don't just entertain—they show us how to grow up, challenging the limiting narratives we may have been told. Much like magic, a powerful story can bring us back to our true selves and help us discover who we might choose to be. The best stories become enduring classics, like Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men. In this episode, we explore the world of fantasy novels and what it means to be a witch with Rhianna Pratchett and Gabrielle Kent, co-authors of Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch, and Marieke Nijkamp, author of the popular Splinter and Ash series. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pratchett’s beloved novel and his 41 Discworld novels, we immerse ourselves in worlds brimming with witches, politics, grief, and secrets.

[3:30] The 20th anniversary of Terry Pratchett’s The Wee Free Men was the ideal time for Rhianna Pratchett and Gabrielle Kent to write Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch. [7:52] In The Wee Free Men, the character Tiffany Aching challenges traditions and finds her path as she embraces her power. [14:59] Marieke Nijkamp wrote Splinter and Ash for readers who often struggle to connect with characters in fantasy. [20:06] Terry Pratchett’s novels are admired for tackling complex political themes and refusing to present a simplified view of the world. [24:08] Readers can expect more stories about death and what it means to be a witch from Rhianna and Gabrielle.

He doesn’t pander to younger readers.” — Rhianna Pratchett, Co-author of Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch, and daughter of Terry Pratchett “We were basically reading the whole book to each other, and then we had to have whiskey for the hard chapters, then we were just sobbing at the end.” — Rhianna Pratchett, Co-author of Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch “Reading those books has helped me think very differently about death as well. Sounds so weird, but seeing that kind of positive side of it and that it’s not something to be feared.” — Gabrielle Kent, Co-author of Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch “Everyone should pick up at least one book. And I think Wee Free Men, if you’ve never read any Discworld books, is a great place to start.” — Mareike Nijkamp, author of Splinter and Ash novels

    The Best Christmas Pageant Ever & The Night Before Christmas: Holiday classics for today (ft. Dallas Jenkins, Margie Pinto-Leite, Loren Long & Joanna Ho)
    2024/12/06
    The holidays are a chance to connect with loved ones, share stories, and laugh. The enduring appeal of holiday books lies in their ability to connect with us on a deeply personal level. They invite us to see Christmas through a child’s eyes with their unmatched curiosity, and unfiltered honesty. And, the best Christmas stories transcend cultural boundaries. In this episode, we explore the comedic, heartfelt genius of Barbara Robinson’s The Best Christmas Pageant Ever the eyes of Barbara's daughter Margie and the Director of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie, Dallas Jenkins. We also hear about the challenge of reinterpreting holiday classics like The Night Before Christmas and creating holiday books that reflect the diversity of people and the world we live in from illustrator Loren Long and author Joanna Ho. To learn more about Barbara Robinson’s, Joanna Ho’s, or Loren Long’s books, visit harpercollins.com/search?q=barbara+robinson harpercollins.com/search?q=joanna+ho harpercollins.com/search?q=loren+long Do you have a story about how a classic book changed your life?

[:54] The Herdman’s rotten charm evokes empathy and understanding. [6:05] Inspired by those who may be unfamiliar with the nativity story, Barbara wrote The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. [9:07] Illustrator Loren Long offers a modern take on the 200-year-old classic Christmas poem, The Night Before Christmas. [13:24] Children internalize books and feel the gap when their ancestry is under-represented or not represented. [18:25] Joanna Ho’s A City Full of Santas was inspired by a city full of Santas. [26:38] Based on the nativity story, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, is definitely not a church book. Continue Your Journey: Joanna Ho Loren Long HarperCollins Remember Reading Podcast @ReadingPod on Twitter Shareables: “It’s a book about something that has traditionally been very holy and austere and I think humor kind of mixes that up a little bit.” — Margie Pinto-Leite, daughter of Barbara Robinson “You can’t help but love the Herdmans. At the end of the story you just want more of them.” — Margie Pinto-Leite, daughter of Barbara Robinson “It’s one of those things where you don’t know how much you’ve internalized about the messaging you are receiving from the world.” — Joanna Ho, author of A City Full of Santas “Anyone who is trying so hard to create magic in this season is often actually just chaos and destruction. And part of that also, I hope, is that we can embrace that and see the beauty in just having that time together which I think is captured so beautifully in the story of the Herdmans.” — Joanna Ho, author of A City Full of Santas “It's kind of promoted as a kids’ book but I’m telling you, you can read this as an adult.” — Dallas Jenkins, Director of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie “It still impacts people around the world, this notion of sacrificial giving. And, some of us, believers and non, have lost that.” — Dallas Jenkins, Director of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie “If I’m going to do this I wanna bring something new to it. Something contemporary.” — Loren Long, Illustrator of The Night Before Christmas
