We chat about how the power of stories to teach children about different perspectives and build relationships are essential. Mike also highlights the need for teachers to adapt their book choices to the interests and experiences of their students.

    He shares his favorite books for children, including Maurice Sendak's 'Where the Wild Things Are' and Sean Tan and Gary Crew's 'The Water Tower'.
