Episode 82: The We and the They with Author Kyra Ann Dawkins

<p>Welcome to this dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm. Today's Library Laura Podcast guest is author Kyra Ann Dawkins. She's the author of <a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/2982/9781636760032">The We and the They,</a> as well as being a writer, an editor, a book reviewer, and an aspiring storyteller. Her book is guided by oral tradition and rooted in collective identity, which we'll talk about. We also talk about what makes good children's stories! Krya is an avid reader and we swap some great book recommendations on everything from C.S. Lewis and Isabel Allende, to books with themes of autism and ones that incorporate folklore. </p> <p>Get in touch with Kyra Ann Dawkins on her <a href= "https://www.kyraanndawkins.org/">website</a>, <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/kyra_ann_writes/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KyraAnnDawkins.Writer/">Facebook,</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/KyraADawkins4">Twitter</a>, and <a href= "https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20541799.Kyra_Ann_Dawkins">Goodreads</a>.
