We Reads: The Podcast, S2, Ep03: Children’s Lit and Problematic Authors

What happens when you look back at your favorite childhood books, looking past the patina youthful interpretations, and see them in a new light? This month, our hosts ask the same question in We Reads: The Podcast Season 2 Episode 03: Children’s Lit and Problematic Authors.

The conversation dives into children’s literature and reflecting on past and present relationships with now-problematic works while honoring the boundless imagination that those works and worlds once inspired in us. In the words of one host: it’s not easy to cleave ourselves from them, and they remain with us even after we’ve purposefully (in the case of problematic authors) set them aside. 

Join us for a reflective discussion on the books that shaped us, and the stories shaping new generations to come. ❤️
