Hi! I'm Rachel Padget, writer, reader, mother of two, and creator of the Thinkscape podcast, which came about because I want to know what--and how--various experts read to their kids and how those books and moments are shaping the next generation.

My projects are an exploration of how we can be more gentle on our planet and its people. That can manifest myriad ways, but unequivocally: Black Lives Matter. Advance restorative justice. Support local.

I also write picture books and young adult novels.
