On Tuesday, June 17 I had the pleasure of appearing on Sheila Liaugminas’s radio program, A Closer Look, in order to talk about children’s literature and the power of the imagination. It was full hour, and our conversation ranged over several topics:
- my humorous Kingdom of Patria series for middle grade readers
- the importance of good literature for children
- why the imagination is an integral component of moral and spiritual formation at any age
- the Catholic underpinnings of the whole genre of children’s literature
- where writers get their ideas
- the book and film, The Fault in Our Stars
You can enjoy listening to the interview here.
I’d love to know what you think of it and to continue the conversation.
Thank you, Daniel! I enjoyed your interview. We need more writers like you for our children.
Thanks so much, Karen, for your support!
