BiblioFiles Episode #12: Grace and Children's Literature

A continuation of our recent conversation on grace and literature, in this episode Megan brings to our attention the fact that the theme of grace also runs throughout most of the great children's literature. In fact, it may be that the best children's authors are able to present grace in an even clearer and stronger way than their more "serious" counterparts. Why is that? And is good children's literature just for children?
