Ishara's Reading Podcast
Hi Everyone! I started this podcast because I want to continue inspiring kids all over the world to read. I love to pretend, and reading helps me to create amazing new characters and imaginary worlds to play with my family. Reading is a fun way to build knowledge and understanding of the universe we live in. Join me and we'll read an exciting new book together!

My Interview with Ms. Erica Perl: A Teacher, Dreamer, and Award Winning Children's Book Author
This week we share my final author interview at this year's National Book Festival, hosted by the Library of Congress! I had so much fun meeting award-winning author Ms. Erica Perl, whose books have been New York Times Best Sellers! Ms. Erica has done so many different and amazing things, including writing, teaching, advocating for access to more books, acting, becoming a lawyer, and most delicious of all, driving an ice cream truck (yum!) One of my favorite parts of this interview was learning what it was like for Ms. Erica to write a book with *THE* Dolly Parton! How cool is that?!?!
After our interview, I walked over to The Story District where I joined an audience of fellow kid super-readers to listen as Ms. Erica read her book, "The Three Little Guinea Pigs," beautifully illustrated by Ms. Amy Young. It was so hilarious, I decided to read it for this week's podcast! These little guinea pigs are funny, surprising, delightfully clever, and totally entertaining. Let's read it together!
Thanks to Ms. Erica for such a wonderful interview and story reading! Please support Ms. Erica and learn more about her work by checking out her website and social media!
