Ruth Behar is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her new middle grade novel called Across So Many Seas. She discusses how the novel follows four girls across different time periods as their stories interconnect. Ruth shares that she enjoyed the challenge of writing multiple character perspectives and wanted to write a story where all the pieces come together at the end. She and the host discuss the importance of family history and sparking conversations with kids about where their ancestors came from. Ruth also shares details about the Sephardic Jewish culture and history. The conversation provides ideas for how families can read the book together and discuss big topics like refugees and cultural identities.
