Nikole Hannah Jones and Adam Rubin work to make kids' books more approachable
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Fri Aug 12 2022
Description: Today's interviews center on children's books with wildly different topics, but they both aim to make reading more accessible for kids. Nikole Hannah Jones, working with Renee Watson, turned the 1619 Project into a picture book called Born On The Water. They told NPR their goal was "to say to young people - to young Black Americans, you belong here." Next, Adam Rubin has on his collection of short stories that are all different but share the same title: The Ice Cream Machine. Rubin told NPR's Rachel Martin that there are so many ways to tell a story. This is an encore episode from March 2022.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
