It’s all about empathy. As Booklist shares, “Across this year’s wide-ranging ‘best’ selections, from historical fiction to contemporary satire and personally insightful nonfiction, these productions are unified by an element so vital to audio: empathy. Narrators who empathize with their subjects and convey that in such a way that listeners can sink deeper into understanding another’s perspective are the best of what audio offers us.”

“This year’s list demonstrates some of the best production techniques, full casts, and thoughtful adaptations from print to audio for young listeners.”
