What’s the origin of this podcast?
When Karen Kane and Beth Bacon created the picture book Alphabuddies: G Is First, they envisioned an entire world where letter come to life and grapple with social-emotional issues. Because they’re letters, their world—and their conversations and their challenges—revolve around literacy concepts.
Tell me more about upcoming episodes.
Our goal is to make an episode featuring each letter of the alphabet — and some punctuation marks and numbers, too.
