Favorite Featured Book of 2015
Poet: The Remarkable Story of George Moses Horton
by Don Tate
There where so many good books featured this year. CLOUD COUNTRY (ep. 42) and MOTHER BRUCE (ep. 41) are at the top of my mind as I just featured them. WATER IS WATER (ep. 31) is a hometown favorite. And I have a soft spot for ONE DAY, THE END (ep. 28) as it’s my kind of humor and storytelling.
But in the end POET (ep. 36) just stood out in my mind. I can’t get over this story. It’s so inspirational. George wasn’t going to let his slavery stop him from doing what he loved. Thank you Don for bringing such a beautiful book into this world!

OK, so these are downloads on iTunes, right? I pretty much always listen directly through the site. You gotta include those hits, too, Nick 🙂 This was SO much fun to listen to, and I LOVE TED talks. I’ve seen Andrew Stanton’s and now you got me listening again 🙂 Also, I know I missed Katherine’s podcast (and other podcasts *sigh*). I’ll be listening to that today, too! And thank you for turning me on to George Moses. It sounds SO inspirational. Wow, I really wish there was more time in a day. Thanks! What a year!
That chat Nick had with Katherine Roy is definitely one of my favorites from the great Picturebooking archive! Can’t wait to see more of the elephant book she’s been working on!
Ya Matthew … as I mention in this episode it’s a special talk for me.

We love all you share at Seven Impossible Things, Jules, so we were also quite excited to see you in Nick’s Top 5 episodes! Keep being awesome!
Donna! Yes when you listen on the site it counts! I’m tricky like that. Andrew Stanton’s talk is possible the best thing in the world … not to overstate it. Thank you for being a friend of the show Donna.
