Book Delight with Chrissie Wright
Welcome to Book Delight with Chrissie Wright, the podcast where readers can be all kinds of ways and books really are magic.
This show is hosted by Chrissie Wright, an elementary teacher-librarian in the pacific northwest. On the show, Chrissie connects you and the kids in your life to fantastic kidlit. If the idea of blowing up your kidlit TBR appeals to you, you're in the right place.
