Hey there, fellow book lovers! In this jam-packed episode of Reading with Your Kids, we had the pleasure of chatting with some amazing authors who are shaking up the KidLit  world. First up, we met Brad and Kristy Montague, the creative minds behind the delightful book "Failabration." This book was inspired by a real-life party the Montagues hosted, where successful people shared their stories of failure. As Brad and Kristy explained, failure is a crucial part of growth and learning, and they wanted to create a safe space for people to embrace their missteps. Their infectious enthusiasm for celebrating imperfection is sure to inspire kids and parents alike. Next, we welcomed sisters Raegan Kelly and Brittany Stroever, the authors of the "Behavior Savior" series. These clever siisters came up with the idea for their books after using a creepy elf to encourage  good behavior. While some parents may be hesitant about scaring kids, Raegan and Brittany assured us that their approach is all about fostering a positive, supportive environment where children can learn from their mistakes. And speaking of young authors, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with 7-year-old Geneva Grodin, grand daughter of legendary Hollywood actor Charles grodin, who wrote her very own "Jokey Joke Book." Inspired by her author grandmother, Geneva has compiled a delightful collection of jokes, both classic and original. Her infectious enthusiasm and creativity are a true testament to the power of nurturing young writers. Throughout the episode, we explored the importance of failure, the value of individualized approaches to parenting and education, and the joy of sharing stories and laughter. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just a lover of great books, this episode is sure to leave you feeling inspired and ready to embrace the messy, wonderful journey of growth and learning.
