Wow! Another great episode!! I admit at first I was hesitant about it, because when I hear non fiction I go into that mode of “eek” from when I was in school. Although we read Non Fiction here at home ALL THE TIME!!! My daughter is currently on a Native American kick, and loving the history of Pocahontas and Sacajawea. This pod cast is such a great resource (I love the show notes and links), you just gave me so many new ideas!! I am wondering (and maybe you have done this before, and if so please link me) would you both be willing to video/photo share how you have books organized, and displayed etc in your home. Thanks so much for being so wonderfully inspiring and supportive!
