Today, Iâm thrilled to share a peek at the riches inside RAR Premium, our online community that helps you make meaningful and lasting connections with your books and helps homeschool mamas become the peace-filled, joyful mamas theyâre called to be.
Last summer, our Family Book Club selection was On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, the first book in the Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson. And we were lucky enough that Andrew agreed to join us to answer kidsâ questions about the books. Â
This episode is spoiler-free, so listen in even if you havenât read the books yet. Iâm pretty sure by the end youâll want to! We talk about the inspiration for the Wingfeather Saga, Andrewâs ridiculous made-up words (that we actually use in my house), developing a rich fantasy world, and even which Wingfeather character is most like him!
In this episode, youâll hear:Â
- How reading aloud C. S. Lewis to his children inspired Andrew to go after his dream of writing stories for kids
- The tons of tiny, often behind-the-scenes choices that go into creating a fantasy world
- Why Andrew doesnât write with a specific message in mind, but wants readers to connect with his books in their own way
