52: So... what'd we miss? With guest Book Expert Alison Morris

12/18/2021

1 Comment

 
My guest for this end-of-year show is Alison Morris. She's a book expert, and the Senior Director of Title Selection at FirstBook, a non-profit that provides literally millions of books to underserved kids (and so much more) -- we'll talk about it, and how YOU can support their vital mission. She's also here to give us a heads up about Books We Might Have Missed while we were all SOMEWHAT busy with other things, like, you know, a global pandemic. I'm going to ask her about trends she's seeing, award predictions, and SO much more. Join us, won't you?

Hello dear Jennifer

I’m Narges a freelance illustrator from Tehran.
I just want to say many thanks, your podcast is wonderful and really helpful and also I want to say thank you for putting transcripts because I’m not good at English so I can read it and translate it easily.

Thank you for taking the time
Best
Narges Fayaz
