Bianca with Rajani LaRocca on Bracelet's for Bina's Brothers

In this episode of the Growing Readers Podcast, I talk with
author Rajani LaRocca about Bracelets for Bina's Brothers, a
picture book that celebrates diversity, math, and the power of
storytelling!


Rajani LaRocca has burst into the world of children's books with
a bunch  of incredible titles and there are many more on the
way. Born in India,  raised in Kentucky, she now lives in
Boston, where she practices  internal medicine and writes
her heart out, sharing stories that connect  us to other
people across distance, time, and culture. We talk mostly
 about her latest picture book, Bracelets for Bina's
Brothers, part of the Charlesbridge Storytelling Math series. We
also chat briefly about her stunning middle-grade novel, Red,
White, and Whole, written in verse about an Indian American girl
whose life is turned upside down when her mother is diagnosed
with leukemia.
