In episode 26, show host Phil Morehart from the American Library Association speaks with author and illustrator Grace Lin.
Grace is the award-winning creator of scores of beloved books for kids, including the National Book Award finalist, "When the Sea Turned to Silver;" the Newbery Honor title, "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon;" and the Caldecott Honor title, "A Big Mooncake for Little Star.” Grace’s work has earned her the American Library Association’s Children's Literature Legacy Award. She also hosts several podcasts devoted to children’s literature.
Grace’s new book for young readers (and her first novel in nine years), "The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon," is based on Chinese folklore and follows a mythical stone lion cub who accidentally escapes from the realm of the spirits and his quest to return home and save his family.
Grace joins the show to discuss her new book and its influences, her work as an illustrator, her podcasts, book bans, and of course, how she libraries.

In episode 18, show host Phil Morehart from the American Library Association speaks with Marium Zahra and Aruja Misra, two high school students from El Paso, Texas, who are participants in “On Our Minds,” an award-winning podcast series from PBS News Student Reporting Labs about the teenage experience. Each season is hosted by two high school students, and episodes are co-created with teens and feature segments produced by student producers across the country.
The new season, which premiered April 16, asks teens, “Who Inspires You?” For Zahra and Misra, it was their school librarian, Mr. Biddle, who is beloved on campus for his outgoing personality and for being a proponent of reading banned books.
Zahra and Misra join the show to discuss working with PBS News Student Reporting Labs, podcasting, journalism, banned books, and of course, how they library.
