literature with our latest podcast episode featuring two incredible

embrace different perspectives, revealing how his own struggles
with admitting mistakes inspired the book's central message. As a
father, he's discovered the joy of understanding that children have
diverse interests and unique ways of experiencing stories.
But the innovation doesn't stop there! We then dive into Storyay, a

interactive storytelling, the goal is the same: inspire kids to
fall in love with reading.
