Continuing my Reader Interview series, this month I'm interviewing Grace a primary teacher librarian. I was thrilled when she agreed to be interviewed for this blog series, mainly because I know school librarians have an enthusiastic yet critical appreciatioin of children's literature. They understand current trends and childhood experiences, and use that knowledge to specialise in matching books with kids (school librarians are my heros!). But I was also interested in what Grace would have to say about books with faith content - given she works at a Christian school and is a committed Christian herself. Her interview is interesting, insightful and packed full of fabulous book recommendations!

Edie is a writer, yes, so we already know she loves books. But she's also a thoughtful Christian woman whose life is grounded in her love of God's word and prayer. And, she's a grandma! So I was keen to ask how she uses children's books, and what she looks for when choosing them for her grandkids and family.
