About this episode
Today is the last day of school for New York City public schools, so as we head into summer vacation, we're celebrating with stories for kids! Journalist and author Karen Good Marable has written a new picture book, Yaya and the Sea, about a girl named Yaya who takes the A train with her mom and aunties down to coastal New York City, and learns about growing up in the process. Marable tells us more about her inspiration for the book and does a special reading! *This segment is guest-hosted by Tiffany Hanssen
