Meet a few authors & artists telling stories for the next generation

On today's show...

"Wings of an Eagle" is a new children's book that chronicles the Olympic trials of gold medalist Billy Mills.

The book's author, illustrator and subject speak to a live audience in SDPB's studio.

Writer Donna Jannell Bowman and artist S.D. Nelson discuss their creative work and how Mills inspires them.

And Mills joins the conversation to talk about his South Dakota roots and how it feels to see himself on the pages of a book.

Plus, Tracy Hauff takes listeners on an environmental journey in "Far From the Forest." The book's butterfly protagonist takes an eventful trip from Mexico to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
