Children's Books with Kate De Goldi

Kate De Goldi joins Kim to discuss the children's books that have been branded racist or sexist since they were first published, and have become controversial in the modern day - among the authors are William Mayne, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Hugh Loftus - as well as recent accusations against several American male writers of YA and children's books. Kate De Goldi's most recent novel, From the Cutting Room of Barney Kettle (Longacre), won the junior fiction category at the 2016 Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.
