Ep 08 | Tell Me a Story: An Interview with Emelie Thomas

The Commonplace - A podcast by Autumn Kern

Reading good stories is a no-brainer for the mom coming through the classical wardrobe. We know, in our guts, this is something we ought to do for our children. But once we actually start reading stories, we can find ourselves with a lot of questions. What’s a good story? What about magic? Won’t my kids be confused if I give them the Bible and myths? What do I do with Disney?!Well, today’s episode is for you. I’m joined by my friend, Emelie Thomas, to discuss all things story. Emelie is kind of famous in Common House for her wise words on story and her ability to name a picture book for any occasion. I know you’ll love listening to her. __________You can find the full episode notes here (including my footnotes for this episode). You can leave the podcast a rating and review here.
