Text the Bookcast and say "hi"!

Welcome to Chapter 78! This month we are featuring books for kids with our first ever Children's Author Round Table! I'm joined by two great authors to talk about their work and a ton of other books.

Mark McCraw is a Former educator, AF and Air Force Reserve Veteran, corrections officer, adjunct professor, daycare teacher, migrant Head Start teacher, children's book author, and non-profit executive. He’s the author of 12 books for children and speaks and reads to kids all over the state and across the country. 

Eileen Hobbs is the author of 8 books for ages 7-11 including the Heath Cousins Series, Under the Golden Rain Tree, Stella and the Sea Stars, and The Girl from Korn. She also completed her first picture book titled "Charlie's No Fun Day at the Beach".
