The mission of getting children to read more is – in my mind – probably one of the noblest ones out there.
That is exactly what my guest today does. Jessica Ewing is the founder & CEO of Literati, which she founded in 2016, after working at the White House and Google. Literati is based in Austin, Texas and it is a curated book subscription service which sends monthly book boxes to their members, depending on their age (from newborn to 12) & reading level. They also have Literati Book Fairs where schools can set up a curated physical library, easy to set up, for children to browse and be exposed to books. I was really excited to talk to Jessica to find out more about this business of how to get kids to read more.
The books that Jessica mentioned were the following:
Favourite book I’ve never heard of: “The One Hundred Nights of Hero”, by Isabel Greenberg. (2016)
The book Jessica would take to a desert island: “Desert Solitaire”, by Edward Abbey (1968)
The book that changed Jessica’s mind: “Moonwalking with Einstein”, by Joshua Foer (2011)
Her literary hero: Joseph Campbell, the author of “The Power of Myth”
