RAR #253: How We Choose Books to Recommend at RAR


Listen Later

How do you know a good book when you see it?


I remember walking into the big, beautiful children’s section at the library with my oldest, who was a baby. I wanted to find books to read aloud to her, but it was hard to know which ones we would love. 


That longing to find good books for my children was the spark that eventually became the Read-Aloud Revival podcast and RAR Premium community, where we’re always trying to find and share the very best books to read aloud with your family.


Today, RAR Premium Coordinator Leilani Curtis joins me to chat about how we select the books for our booklists here at Read-Aloud Revival. We’re also going to share our best advice for being more confident in choosing books to bring into your home, whether it’s at the bookstore or the library.


In this episode, you’ll hear: 

  • How our booklists can help you choose quality books to share with your family
  • Three quick questions to help you decide if a book is worth a longer look
  • The qualities we look for in books we recommend
