One year ago, Heather Jarvis at ABC Radio Australia, an international radio broadcasting program, interviewed Jamie Zvirzdin and Laura Sundblad following the publication of The Important Book about Majuro. It was wonderful to return and report that twelve new Marshallese/English children's books have been published!
Zvirzdin details how the project started, how it unfolded, what the books are like, the importance of bilingual books for Marshallese children, the reactions of the students when they received their books, and more. (Audio clip is on the lower right if you click on the link below.)
