Johny Pitts talks to the author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie about her new book for children. The globally famous author behind Half of a Yellow Sun, Purple Hibiscus and Americanah explains how she was inspired to write something for a young generation by both her daughter and her late parents, whom she honours with the pseudonym Nwa Grace-James.

The illustrator and writer Judith Kerr would have been 100 this year. To mark her centenary, Oliver Jeffers and Nicolette Jones discuss her indisputable contribution to the world of children's books, her subtle ability to weave the playful with the profound, and legacy amongst writers today exploring issues such as displacement and living as a refugee.

Plus Molly Crawford of Simon & Schuster chose a poetic and powerful new novel from Jesmyn Ward as her Editor's Pick.

Producer: Ciaran Bermingham
