Huda Fahmy (Yes I’m Hot in This) & Anna Hersh (Wild Rumpus) on Community, Creativity, and Youth Lit.
On today’s episode of the Libro.fm Podcast, we dive into literacy for young readers with graphic novelist Huda Fahmy and children’s bookshop owner Anna Hersh. We dive into school reading lists, storytime at bookshops, building confidence, the process of turning graphic novels into audiobooks, and even a mischievous cat with a knack for escaping in baby strollers.
