Lindsey Cornett, Managing Editor of Englewood Press, spoke with two writers of notable nonfiction, Esau McCaulley and Katie Blackburn, not about their “books for grownups,” but about their recent publications for children. They discuss their unexpected journeys into children’s literature, why it’s important to write books for children, and their upcoming projects.
Esau McCaulley, PhD, is an author and The Jonathan Blanchard Associate Professor of New Testament and Public Theology at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL. His research and writing focus on New Testament Exegesis, African American Biblical Interpretation, and Public Theology. He is also the author of two picture books for children, the most recent of which is, Andy Johnson and the March for Justice. Katie Blackburn is a writer, teacher, a life-long learner and a single mama to six kids. She is the author of several books including, The Very Best Baseball Game: A Story About Disability and God’s Good Design For All of Us.
