Welcome to the YA and Children's Book Podcast (for Adults)! Our show is hosted by two book enthusiasts: a writer (Sarah Hansen) and a teacher (Terri La Rue). Together, we are rereading and discussing the books that shaped us. If you’ve ever wondered which Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants character you are, why horse girls get so many books written about them, or how Stuart Little's human mother gave birth to a mouse, then this is the show for you. Join us as we relive childhood, one book at a time. New episodes every other week!

”Esperanza Rising” by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Pam Muñoz Ryan’s novel of immigration, trauma, and resilience has been beloved by children and teachers since its publication in 2000. It is a work of historical fiction, but the novel’s focus on the intersection of racism and capitalist exploitation unfortunately remains very relevant today.
Terri also shares a few stories from her own family’s history, which has some intriguing parallels to Esperanza’s.
On a lighter note, this episode includes some improvised singing and a brief appearance of our British accents. We apologize in advance.
