We are writing as fellow rural residents of this country, asking you to save one of the most critical lifelines all rural Americans share: public media. As Alaska Native writers for “Molly of Denali,” we’ve had a front row seat to the expert care it takes to craft a PBS Kids series. Every episode takes meticulous care to develop important educational goals and thoughtful storytelling.

Sacar la verdad a la luz Eileen Fitzgerald es una prestigiosa periodista de investigación que trabaja en The Vanguard, en Nueva York. En su último artículo ha tenido sus más y sus menos con sus superiores. Por lo que finalmente acaba fuera del periódico. Recibirá entonces una oferta singular de un antiguo jefe: ir a Alaska para trabajar en un pequeño periódico local de Anchorage: The Daily Alaskan. Al principio la oferta no le seduce lo más mínimo, pero finalmente se embarcará en esa nueva aventura.

On today's show we have Alaska Native authors discussing their most recent children's books based in Alaska and featuring Alaska Natives. It's difficult, if not impossible, for Alaska Native parents to find books their children can identify with. That void prompted one group to help four Alaska Natives write their first children's book. It's part of the Best Beginnings, Seasons of Alaska series.
