About Us

Book Power for Kids was started as a homeschool project for the Power children.

We were inspired to give podcasting a shot, fittingly enough, by a library book called Maker Dad by Mark Frauenfelder. Having decided that we were starting a podcast, the question then was what it would be about.

Chaska and Lani were already ravenous readers with a reputation at our local library for checking out 10-20 books apiece weekly, so book reviews seemed like a no-brainer. Acting out a scene was suggested somewhere along the way and a podcast was born!

Since we’ve started, we have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback of listeners – most notably by the authors of many of the books themselves!

Thank you for your interest and support, it’s very rewarding to our young podcasters and keeps them enthusiastic about each new episode.
