Welcome back to 5-Minute Parenting! Today I have the pleasure of interviewing a good friend and children’s author, Joyce McCullough. Joyce is a children’s book author, retired high school English teacher, Sunday School teacher, and avid reader. She now spends her time writing, giving piano lessons, leading her book club, and volunteering in her community in Middle Tennessee. 

Joyce joins 5-Minute Parenting to preview her new children’s book and talk about the importance of reading in today’s society. You'll glean from her wisdom and years of education experience as she answers these questions and more: 

Q:Tell us about your inspiration for writing your latest book Max and Her Stacks. 


Q: Why do you think parents should encourage their children to make reading a priority? 

Q: You taught high school English, why are you now writing children’s books?
