Problematic kid lit... when your favorites don't age well

About

Welcome to "Rough Drafts Welcome," produced by Salt & Sage Books and hosted by the delightful duo, Erin and Sachiko. Dive into the intricate world of authoring with us, where mistakes aren't just expected – they're celebrated. From the profound value of beta reading to the delicate art of sensitivity reading, we journey through every facet of writing books. Our tagline says it all: "You – We can mess up here." So, whether you're an author searching for guidance, an editor hoping to deepen your craft, or simply a book lover seeking behind-the-scenes insights, this is your friendly space. Grab your coffee, put on those headphones, and join our conversation – where every draft, rough or refined, is welcome.

You head to your bookshelf and pull off a childhood favorite... only to be shocked by some of the content you'd completely forgotten about! So... what now?

Kid lit is a complex subject, and it becomes even more complex give the passage of time and the way morals have moved since you were a kid.

Erin & Sachiko approach this from a parenting lens as well as an educational one, and we're curious how you would approach this, too. What are your favorite books that you've since realized are problematic? Have you decided to share them with your kids? If you did, how did you approach it?

This is the end of season one! We're taking a break, but we'll be back in September. If you just can't wait until then, we've got a lot of past episodes, courses, and our Incomplete Guides series. Find us all over social media, too!

We'll see you in September!
