The Reading with Your Kids podcast recently welcomed two talented children's authors to discuss their latest works - Brad Mason, author of the "Charlie Chaloosy" series, and Morenike Oyenusi, whose new book is titled "The Primary Colors." Brad Mason kicked off the conversation by introducing the latest installment in his "Charlie Chaloosy" series, "Charlie Chaloosy Refuses to Snoozy." As host Jed Doherty learned, this charming story follows young Charlie's adventures as he struggles with - and eventually embraces - the value of nap time. Brad shared that his focus is on tapping into universal childhood experiences that kids can easily relate to. One of the standout elements of Brad's books is his commitment to encouraging young readers to tap into their own creativity. He includes interactive prompts that inspire kids to write and illustrate their own stories, helping to foster a love of storytelling. The discussion also explored the importance of instilling solid values, building a sense of community, and making quality time for family bonding - with Brad offering wonderful suggestions for fun activities parents can do with their kids. Morenike Oyenusi then joined the conversation to discuss her new picture book, "The Primary Colors." Her story introduces a community of primary colors and what happens when a new, pastel-hued family moves in. Morenike shared how her book explores themes of diversity, acceptance, and the power of storytelling to bring families together. Like Brad, Morenike emphasized her dream of having families around the world snuggle up and read her books together, creating cherished memories. She also discussed the global nature of the children's book industry and the importance of both traditional storytelling and the joy of reading aloud. Whether you're looking to inspire the young readers in your life with the adventures of Charlie Chaloosy or the vibrant world of "The Primary Colors," this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast is sure to delight.
