Join us in Episode 365 of Storycomic Presents as host Barney Smith welcomes Rebecca Cummins to discuss her captivating new book, "Dear Aunt Bea: A Journal of a Journey." This touching narrative follows ten-year-old Jimi’s adjustment to a new life in the mountainous Northeast after migrating from the flat Midwest. Aimed at young readers, this story blends adventure, natural exploration, and personal growth.
In this episode, Rebecca shares the inspiration behind her book and how her own life experiences influenced the creation of Jimi’s character and his explorations. "Dear Aunt Bea" is not just a tale of moving geographically but also a profound exploration of personal discovery through interaction with nature. Jimi’s letters to Aunt Bea serve as a heartfelt medium for reflecting on his observations about climate, community, and his role within his new environment.
Rebecca discusses the importance of nurturing curiosity and the sense of belonging in young readers, highlighting how nature can teach us about resilience and beauty in change. This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in children’s literature that encourages exploration and understanding of both our inner and outer worlds.
