In this episode, Krish dives into Rowan of Rin by Emily Rodda, a powerful adventure about courage, destiny and discovering strength you never knew you had. Following quiet, reluctant hero Rowan as he joins a dangerous mountain quest, the story explores bravery in its truest form: feeling scared, but choosing to take the next step anyway.
Krish also sits down with Sian Allan from The Smith Family, an education charity in Australia dedicated to helping children build confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of reading. In this conversation, Sian shares why early literacy matters, how families can make reading playful and meaningful and why stories shape the way children understand themselves and the world.
