AudioFile’s Josephine Reed spoke with author and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Jason Reynolds about STAMPED, a remix of Ibram X. Kendi’s STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING for young people. Highly recommended as a work for young readers, STAMPED, which Reynolds also narrates, is accessible to anyone interested in learning about how racism and antiracism developed in America. In all of his work, Reynolds is known for writing and speaking directly to young listeners, meeting them where they are, and helping young Black readers see themselves reflected in books they are excited to read.
In this bonus episode of the Behind the Mic podcast, Reynolds speaks about the importance of writing for younger readers, the power of audiobook listening, and how he came to work on STAMPED.
