Episode Mitali Perkins on Why Adults Need Children’s Books
What if some of the most important books you'll ever read were written for children?
In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure Chapman sits down with acclaimed author Mitali Perkins to discuss the enduring power of children's literature. From The Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit to Anne of Green Gables and A Little Princess, they explore how stories shape the moral imagination, cultivate virtue, and help both children and adults encounter truth, goodness, and beauty.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, reader, or simply someone looking to rediscover wonder, this conversation offers a compelling case for returning to the stories that shape the soul.
