Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The holiday season is a time for traditions new and old – and for many families that includes sharing stories. This year brought great non-fiction titles to the shelves that help young readers understand the news- – as well as the historic context for it. There are also plenty of stories that help kids exercise their imaginations. We explore some of the latest titles, along with some old favorites, for kids of all ages.
