Raising Readers Through Humor: A Conversation with Eve Heidi Bine-Stock

How do you help a child fall in love with reading—especially if they struggle or resist it?

In this episode, I’m joined by award-winning children’s author Eve Heidi Bine-Stock, creator of Olivia’s Jokes, a story inspired by a real-life moment of kindness and community.

We explore how humor can transform a child’s relationship with reading, why laughter is more powerful than pressure, and how parents—especially homeschool families—can create simple, meaningful experiences that build confidence and creativity.

Eve also shares practical advice for supporting reluctant readers, along with tools that can make reading more engaging and accessible.

Whether you’re raising a young reader or trying to encourage one who’s struggling, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable ideas.
