Are you a teacher who needs 'book extenders' for your classroom? Or are you an aspiring children's writer who'd like to know the inside scoop on how others got published? Or you're already published and want to hear from booksellers, agents, and editors? Maybe you simply need a great book recommendation for the children in your life? Brain Burps About Books is the show author/illustrator Katie Davis hosts - a fun (true), funny (hopefully), informative (totally), and globe-trotting (sort of) show about everything kidlit. SLJ blogger and New York Public children's librarian Betsy Bird will round out every show with her regular review, Bird Bytes. You're going to love this show so much you'll want to marry it.
