I’m so excited to welcome my wife, librarian Anna Newman, for a conversation about navigating children’s literature as new parents to our son Max. We discuss the joy and challenges of early parenthood, revisiting beloved childhood books that haven’t aged well, and how we’re thinking about introducing Max to classic stories—including whether problematic favorites like The Giving Tree and certain American Girl books have a place on his bookshelf.
