NPR's Book of the Day - Nikole Hannah Jones and Adam Rubin aim to make children’s books more accessible

Our interviews today are both children's books and even though they are about wildly different topics, they both aim to make reading more accessible for kids. Nikole Hannah Jones, with the help of Renee Watson, has 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 written a collection of short stories that are all different but have the same title: The Ice Cream Machine. Rubin told NPR's Rachel Martin that there are so many ways to tell a story.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Casually Pondering the Unthinkable

The Biden administration’s response to the crisis in Europe goes wobbly. Between the administration trying to demonize fossil fuel producers even as they demand more production and their warnings that Russia may use chemical weapons in Ukraine without suggesting a way to deter such an unthinkable attack, can the public’s confidence in the White House’s competency survive?

In the winter of 1932 and 1933, one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in human history occurred in what was then the province of Ukraine in the Soviet Union. 


Millions of people died, yet the event was ignored in most of the western press and wasn’t even officially acknowledged by the Soviet government until the 1980s. 


Today, most people in the world still aren’t aware of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. 


Learn more about the Holodomor and the engineered famine that killed millions of people, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Author Bernardine Evaristo confides in the reader in new memoir, ‘Manifesto’

Author Bernardine Evaristo wrote the Booker prize winning novel Girl, Woman, Other. But before she did, like way before, she was incredibly unsure of herself or how she - as someone with a Black father and white mother - fit into her mostly white town. Even still, Evaristo always knew she had something important to say. She lays out those early struggles and how she overcame them in her new memoir, Manifesto: On Never Giving Up. Evaristo told NPR's Michel Martin that she has always been a private person but sharing so many of her secrets for the reader was very liberating.
