Description:

Welcome to the launch special of the Nerdy Bookcast.

Today, on the 15th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we have a generation of students who have no living memory of the events that happened that day.
And we have a generation of teachers who do.

So we are launching our podcast with a 3-part series about how reading and writing and books can help us make sense of tragedy.

We are calling it “Books Help Teach Us How to Live.”

Thank you for very much for listening to Part 3: ‘Hope.”
