Books have the remarkable ability to enthrall, captivate and inspire. When kids are trapped indoors during the cold winter months books can transport them into new and fascinating worlds.
On this edition of Up to Date, Steve Kraske and three Johnson County librarians review their top picks in children’s literature.
