My Week of Celebrating Children’s Books in Alaska

April 27, 2025 by Colby Sharp   1 comments

COLBY: Our latest episode is a little different from what you are used to listening to on The Yarn. Instead of interviewing a children’s book creator about their latest book, I share what it was like spending my spring break in Alaska working in schools. I hope you’ll give it a listen!

    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.
