We recently had the chance to talk with Jason Low, publisher and co-owner of Lee & Low Books, on The Storyteller’s Shelf Podcast, and one part of the conversation really stayed with us: how kids are engaging with books today and how the children’s publishing industry is adapting.

We talked about reading habits, screen time, parents modeling reading at home, independent publishing, book marketing, and the future of children’s books.

We’d love to hear what others are seeing:

• What helps young readers stay excited about books?
• Do parents, schools, libraries, or access to better book choices make the biggest difference?
• Are shorter chapters and more accessible formats helping kids connect with stories?
• What are you seeing as an author, parent, educator, librarian, or reader?

For anyone interested, the full conversation is on The Storyteller’s Shelf Podcast on Apple.

Our Youtube Version will available next week.
