A friend of mine, Barbara Jean Hicks, has written several children’s books that I think would be great reading for you and Scott Simon on some Saturday morning.

The books are “Jitterbug Jam” and “The Secret Life of Walter Kitty.”

Hope to hear them on the air soon!

thanks

Daniel replies:

If your friend's publisher should send me review copies of your friend's books they will stand the same chance (one in several hundred) of being picked for presentation on the air. If you and your friend, and perhaps 500 other people should write to NPR suggesting they have us talk about a children's book every week, instead of every month, NPR will ignore the letters and leave things just as they are--but if they didn't the odds would improve.
