Assessing the State of Children's Literature

Today, we share a fun discussion between Brandon Vogt and Haley Stewart, Editor of Word on Fire Spark, our new imprint of books for young readers. Topics include:

• Were you a reader growing up? What were some of your favorite books?
• How would you assess the current landscape of childrens' books? What's good? What's missing?
• What is Word on Fire Spark and how did it come to be?
• What is the mission/vision for Spark? How will Spark books stand out among other books for children?
• Upcoming books from Word on Fire Spark
• Forthcoming "Spark the Imagination" podcast
• The Spark Bible – a new Bible for young Catholic readers

• Word on Fire Spark
• Saintly Creatures: 14 Tales of Animals and Their Holy Companions by Alexi Sargeant
