An interview with Dorie McCullough Lawson, author of the wonderful children’s storybook TEX, is featured on “The Well-Read Life.” There she talks about the importance of reading and imagination in a child’s life, the kind of books that are important, as well as the role reading played in her household as she was growing up (Dorie’s father is the two-time, Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian David McCullough).
