Welcome to the Books Between Podcast!
I believe that a book can change the trajectory of a child’s life. And I want to help you connect kids with those amazing, life-shaping books and bring you inspiring (and fun!) conversations with the authors and educators who make that magic happen.
I am a 5th grade teacher, a mom of two tween daughters, and host of the Books Between podcast. Every other Monday, I share book talks, interviews, and ideas for getting great books into the hands of kids between 8-12.
Every podcast has an outline of interviews and a full transcript of all the other parts of the show.
