In this special Podcasthon episode, Krish dives into The First State of Being by Erin Entrada Kelly, a gripping time travelling adventure set against the backdrop of Y2K panic in 1999.

Krish dedicates this episode to Read for Good, a UK charity that has been helping children fall in love with reading since 1984. He also shares his own journey of running a book donation drive and why he chose Read for Good to support their charity’s work, this year.

Krish is then joined by Simon Pollard and Heather Wright, Festival Directors of the St Austell Children’s Literature Festival. In a heartwarming conversation, they chat about:

• Making book festivals accessible to all through £1 tickets
• The magic of meeting authors and illustrators
• Behind the scenes moments including a runaway projector screen
• Why children’s books are for everyone and how they build community
• Encouraging children to find the right book and fall in love with reading

A perfect episode for young readers, families and anyone who loves stories.
