Today's interviews center on children's books with wildly different topics, but they both aim to make reading more accessible for kids. Nikole Hannah Jones, working with Renee Watson, turned the 1619 Project into a picture book called Born On The Water. They told NPR their goal was "to say to young people - to young Black Americans, you belong here." Next, Adam Rubin has on his collection of short stories that are all different but share the same title: The Ice Cream Machine. Rubin told NPR's Rachel Martin that there are so many ways to tell a story. This is an encore episode from March 2022.

Around the year 36 BC, the King of Judea, Herod the Great, built a fortress in the Judean desert overlooking the Dead Sea.

Almost 100 years later, that fortress became the scene for what was one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Jewish people. 

It was the final act in a rebellion against the Roman Empire, the ramifications of which are still felt in the world today.

Author Imani Perry is a child of the South. In her newest book South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation, she gives the reader a look at the South's complicated history, interwoven with her own personal anecdotes. Even though the South has a difficult history, Perry contends, it provides important context for America today. Perry told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that in order to write this book she had to stop romanticizing the place she calls home – and, instead, look at it starkly. This is an encore episode from January 2022.

On October 26, 1881, one of the most defining moments in the history of the American west took place. 

That shootout between nine men defined the popular perception of what the old west was about, even though it was actually a very atypical event. 

Since then, the gunfight has become legendary, having been the subject of songs, books, and movies.

Learn more about the Gunfight at the OK Corral, the most famous shootout in the wild west, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
