If you're a parent looking to ignite a passion for reading in your kids, this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast is a must-listen! Host Jed Doherty sits down with two talented creators who are using the power of storytelling to celebrate diverse cultures and inspire young minds. First up, Jed chats with Brian Anderson, the author and illustrator behind the beloved Sophie Jurassic Bark and Sophie Frankenstein's Hound graphic novels. Brian shares his journey from creating a syndicated comic strip to breaking free of the four-panel format and bringing his canine-centric tales to life in full-color graphic novels.  As a Massachusetts native who now calls North Carolina home, Brian discusses how his New England roots have influenced his work, and the importance of embracing the messiness of the creative process. He offers invaluable advice for aspiring young artists, emphasizing the value of doodling, carrying a notebook, and not being afraid of "bad" initial ideas. Next, Jed welcomes debut children's book author Grace Seo Chang, who introduces her delightful new picture book, Birthday Soup. Inspired by the Korean tradition of eating seaweed soup on birthdays, Grace shares how this special dish has become a cherished part of her family's celebrations. She also touches on the significance of introducing diverse cultural traditions to children, and the joy of exploring new flavors and recipes as a family. Whether you're a graphic novel enthusiast, a lover of international cuisine, or simply a parent seeking to nurture a love of reading in your kids, this episode of Reading with Your Kids is sure to inspire and delight. Tune in to discover how the power of storytelling can bridge cultures, ignite imaginations, and create lasting memories.
