Grace and Alvina talk about how the current presidential administration has and could affect publishing. They discuss how the increase in book banning, cuts in funding for libraries, changes in how diversity is valued, and increased tariffs may or may not affect publishing.

For the Fortune Cookie segment they talk about what's making them happy right now.

And then, Grace tells Alvina about her two Spring-themed math board books, UP TO MY KNEES and WHERE ARE THE EGGS?
