– THE SHOW
Books get you in the door. This is what's beyond it.
Every episode, KP sits down with authors, teachers, parents, and the readers themselves to talk about what actually happens after the last page. The stuff behind literacy that no curriculum covers. No scripts, no lectures, just the conversations she wishes she'd had sooner.
