Episode 79: On The Book of Belonging with Mariko Clark & Rachel Eleanor

The Englewood Review of Books Podcast

Our new managing editor, Lindsey Cornett sat down with the writer and illustrator of the brand-new "Book of Belonging" collection of Bible stories for children. They discuss the problems and difficulties with many "traditional" children's bibles, how the two of them met and decided to collaborate on this project, what sets this project apart from other approaches, and how the process has impacted them personally. It's a wide-ranging and honest conversation. Enjoy!
