My Week of Celebrating Children’s Books in Alaska

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes because I am from Alaska, but no longer live there, and the enthusiasm and care that you so obviously share in this podcast just fills my heart up. Thank you for talking about the place and the people in such a joyful way.
