RAR Podcast: Sparking Creativity with Research

When you think about the various work that goes into making a children’s book, research probably isn’t at the top of your list.

It might not make it on your list at all!

But research is often an essential part of the process. And I can tell you from personal experience that research can be a time-intensive, sometimes overwhelming, but often the most delightful task.

Today on the show, we’re he

Quotes by Sarah Mackenzie (?)

“If you want a child to know the truth, tell him the truth. If you want a child to love the truth, tell him a story.”
― Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids

“It is so exhausting- sometimes even demoralizing- to realize that our work in raising up and teaching our children is never really done. But we must remember that we were never intended to finish it.”
― Sarah Mackenzie, Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace

“It doesn't really matter if we have the most beautiful, carefully thought-out plan if there aren't enough hours in the day to get to it. Look, if God expected you to get 36 hours worth of work done in a day, he would have given you 36 hours to do it. If you have more to do than time to do it in, the simple fact is this: some of what you are doing isn't on His agenda for you.”
― Sarah Mackenzie, Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace
