Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 59: Author Visit with Allie Slocum
Q: Allie, how can the adults in our listeners lives connect with you to get their hands on some copies of your books?
The best way is through my website, www.characterclubonline, where interested readers can learn more and purchase or request copies.
Episode 59: Author Visit with Allie Slocum
Q: So Allie, what do you hope kids take away from reading? Is there any hope for Theodore Cope?
I hope that they realize that there is hope. No matter how hard things are, there's always something more important that you can look to, and that long-term perspective helps kids understand resilience beyond immediate struggles.
Episode 58: Author Visit with Rob Currie
Q: What can kids take away from Time for Courage beyond history, in terms of faith and courage?
Currie highlights three takeaways: fueling a love of reading, increasing understanding of WWII events, and affirming a faith perspective where the protagonist questions and finds answers through prayer and family support.
Episode 58: Author Visit with Rob Currie
Q: How do you approach sharing difficult WWII topics with kids aged 7-13?
He suggests a careful approach: aim for fourth grade and up, with some younger readers possible; read in advance and decide what to read aloud, ensuring the content is appropriate while maintaining the gravity of the historical events.
Episode 58: Author Visit with Rob Currie
Q: What did you do to prepare to write Time for Courage and bring the Netherlands and WWII to life for young readers?
The author describes two trips to the Netherlands, interviews with locals, site visits, and receiving reading material from Dutch sources; he also mentions museum endorsements which helped validate the project and deepen historical accuracy.
