Frigid Winter Weather; Children's Musician and Author, Barry Louis Polisar; Children's Book Recs

Baltimore Heritage

With at least several inches of snow on the ground and frigid temperatures setting in, we take a look at how city agencies and non-profits are making sure the homeless are staying warm… and we talk with the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative about what you can do to keep your home warm and efficient.

Then – Barry Louis Polisar has been writing children’s books and performing songs for decades. We talk with him about his new book Retelling Genesis, which spins the famous tale from the perspective of its secondary characters.

Plus: The highest honors for children's books were awarded earlier this month in Chicago. Parkville librarian Paula Willey highlights a few of the winners that your kid might want to check out.
