Show Notes
Ahead of the Yoto Carnegie Medal, we will be considering how children’s books approach some of the more sensitive topics life has to offer:
LD Lapinski takes us to a dark place in the final adventure with her Strangeworlds Travel Agency
Kwame Alexander gets poetic as he considers bereavement in his novel 'Rebound'.
Angie Thomas addresses gun violence and racism in her breath-taking debut 'The Hate U Give'.
Lou Kuenzler tells us how she approached writing a story aimed at giving early years readers a better understanding of sight loss.
And we return to LD Lapinski for the Books of Your Life.
