In this bonus episode India talks to Dr Marah Gubar about some influential children's writers spanning two centuries.
How to capture a child's imagination? One way is simply to remember they are people too. India and Marah Gubar, associate professor of children’s literature and childhood studies, discuss the first books written specifically for the youngest children by the English poet Anna Laetitia Barbauld way back in the 18th century, the wonderful explorations of children's imaginations by Ruth Krauss and the tubulant worlds created by Maurice Sendak.
