This week on The Children’s Hour, we explore the best musical releases for kids in 2022, including the five nominees for the Best Children’s Grammy.
Beth from our Kids Crew reviews of one of our favorite kids’ books released in 2022, Tumble, by Cecelia Perez. It tells a story set in New Mexico, that tells a universal tale.
We also hear from listener Maeva Porter who recommends an often overlooked gem of a series: the original Nancy Drew mysteries.
Celebrate independent Kindie artists, enjoy some of the best of 2022, and Happy New Year from The Children’s Hour!
