The Book Club for Kids (Friends of the Children's Book Podcast) Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Today I want to introduce you to a podcast where middle grade readers talk about books. And to a friend of mine named Kitty. She's a journalist, podcaster, reader, and, of course, a fan of kids, too!

The Book Club for Kids is the place where young readers meet to talk about books. The show includes a celebrity reader and an interview with the author. The host is award winning public radio journalist Kitty Felde. Book Club won the California Library Association Technology Award and the DC Mayor's Award for Excellence in the Humanities. And get this… this podcast was named one of the top 10 podcasts for kids by THE TIMES of London.

The episode we're sharing today is with author and Prinz Honor winner Lisa Fipps. She wrote an exceptional novel in verse called Starfish. If you've been listening to the pod this week, you heard her read a poem from Starfish called "Lucky Dog."

Well… if you're new to the Book Club for Kids, you are in for a treat!

Let's not waste another minute! Enjoy! And don't forget to follow or subscribe to the Book Club for Kids wherever you get your podcasts!
