Paul shares joyful, affirming stories that celebrate love, family, and identity. He also opens up about his journey as a legally blind artist, his partnership with his husband Matthew, and how their real-life story inspired his beloved penguin characters. Join us as Paul talks about the importance of incidental visibility in early childhood stories and how he uses humor, art, and authenticity to connect with children and families.  Find out more about Paul and his storytelling at Paul Castle Studios [https://paulcastlestudio.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop-iZcxDa60N59urikVRghBqNZBFe6YqpJtgmVQGLjNPpnf8bfy].

The Science of Reading

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2259931/fan_mail/new] In this episode of the Early Childhood On-The-Go podcast, we explore the science of reading and what it really means for early childhood professionals and families. Joined by literacy expert Lynn Hall, we unpack the research behind reading development, dispel common misconceptions, and discuss practical ways to support children's literacy long before formal reading instruction begins. Whether you're an educator, early intervention provider, or caregiver, this conversation offers valuable insights into building strong foundations for lifelong reading success.
