What We Find In Young Children’s Literature (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

News from the snuggly world of children’s bedtime books lately. The world of our first reading to little ones one and two and three and four years old. The world of “Good Night Moon” and “The Runaway Bunny.” From an old trunk of “Good Night Moon” author Margaret Wise Brown, a new trove of songs and poems. She died in 1952. She’s back. And a new study saying in the thousands of children’s books published last year, still few with children of color. What are we reading to our littlest ones these days? Are we reading? This hour On Point: what we seek and share in young children’s books./Tom Ashbrook
