Ever wonder what sparks the imagination of a bestselling children's author? This week, the Daddy Daughter Bookworms have the absolute pleasure of hosting Andy Griffiths, the creative genius behind the "13 Story Treehouse" series. With his latest escapade, the "169-Story Treehouse," hitting the shelves, Andy transports us back to the whimsical days of our youth, recounting the playful mischief that inspired his celebrated books. His storytelling is as infectious as the laughter that his words invoke, taking us on a literary journey that feels both fresh and nostalgically familiar. We explore the evolution of Andy's narrative, along with the hilarious antics of characters Terry, Andy, and Jill, who have become as endeared to us as childhood friends.
Andy shares how his passion for storytelling began with scribbled notes that brought joy to everyone around him. From his early teaching days to recognizing the dearth of humorous tales for children, Andy's life has been a tapestry woven with the threads of humor and the joy of engaging a younger audience. As we bid farewell to the series that has delighted us for years, Andy opens up about the bittersweet feelings of saying goodbye to his characters, and what it's like having young fans who know the ins and outs of his stories better than he does. Tune in for an episode that promises to be not just a conversation, but an experience of rediscovering the boundless creativity that lies in the heart of every grown-up bookworm.

Have you ever let a book's ending determine whether you'll read it through to the last page? Our conversation with the insightful Ms. Glynis brings this unusual reading strategy to light, as we celebrate National Library Week with a journey through Erin Entrada Kelly's "Hello, Universe." Ms. Glynis , with her deep understanding of storytelling, breaks down this multi-perspective narrative, guiding us through the five-finger retell method. Our exploration doesn't stop there—we delve into the book's heartfelt themes of friendship and acceptance, and ponder the liberating idea that not every book will win over your heart.
Ms. Glynis, a children's librarian with a storied career, from an amusing stint as a bra fitter at Macy's to igniting young imaginations at Sandwick Library, joins us to share her love for literary matchmaking. We weave personal anecdotes with the book's themes—analyzing dreams, confronting bullies, and embracing the beauty of diverse communication styles. Engage with us as we uncover the connections between dreams and reality, and discover how Ms. Glenda's favorite classic, "Harriet the Spy," can inspire your own reading adventures. Our chat is an open invitation to the curious souls seeking the perfect children's book or anyone eager to peek behind the library's curtain.

Imagine stumbling upon a treasure trove of stories that spark the imagination and ignite a thirst for learning. That's exactly what happened when Lucy and I met Christine Platt at a book fair, and her latest children's chapter book, "Frankie and Friends: Breaking News" with illustrations by Aliyah Marley, leaped into our hands. Journey with us as we uncover the world of Frankie, her dynamic family, and how her animated toys and a cat named after none other than the iconic Nina Simone come to life, inspiring us to explore history and culture through a child's eyes. Platt's narrative not only tickles the fancy of young readers but also educates, as we ourselves are now itching to learn more about the legendary singer and the game of Crazy Eights.
Then, as the snowflakes begin to fall, join Lucy and me in the sweet anticipation of cookie season – a time of year that magically stretches our understanding of "seasons." With a goal to sell a staggering 1,500 boxes, we're not just peddling treats but also sharpening our math skills, specifically mastering the six times table. This episode is an uplifting blend of book insights, personal anecdotes, and the life lessons that come from setting goals and persevering. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to you, our listeners, for joining us on this enlightening journey.
