Early Childhood Literacy with guest Sarah Warren
About this episode
This episode features a discussion on early childhood literacy with author Sarah Warren, focusing on representation in children's literature.
Hosted by Walter “Q Bear” Banks Jr. of KMOJ Radio, thisconversation features Minnesota author and nonprofitleader Sarah Warren, who began as a preschool and Head Start teacher and started writing because many classroom books lacked characters who shared her scholars’ backgrounds. Warren discusses her picture book biographies about women including Beyoncé, Stacey Abrams, Dolores Huerta, and an upcoming book on Majora Carter, emphasizing the importance of children seeing themselves reflected in books amid book bans targeting books by and about people of color. She shares her nonprofit Picture Book Parade, which brings authors, illustrators, story strolls, and story times into communities at the Midtown Farmers Market and a gallery display at MSP Airport, and lists upcoming events and websites to connect. This episode was recorded live on the radio program TheAfternoon Drive, which airs on KMOJ at 89.9 FM in the Twin Cities. For more information, visit littlemomentscount.org/podcasts
