She investigates with courage and compassion, standing up for a vulnerable veteran in a gentrifying neighborhood. It's " The West Wing" meets Nancy Drew with a dose of local government politics.

Award-winning writer, public radio journalist, and TEDx speaker Kitty Felde hosts the Book Club for Kids podcast. With more than 1.4 million downloads, the show has been named one of the top 10 kidcasts in the world by The Times of London.

Kitty has a remarkable talent for talking to kids and she shared her super power in a TEDx UCLA talk.

The native Angeleno created the Washington bureau for Southern California Public Radio, reporting on Congress. She's covered everything from war crimes trials to OJ Simpson to baseball, and hosted a daily talk show in Los Angeles for nearly a decade. Kitty had a front row seat at one of the January 6th Committee hearings.

She won the Los Angeles Radio Journalist of the Year award three times in three years from the Society of Professional Journalists and the L.A. Press Club. As a journalist, Kitty explained how government works to grownups. Now she explains it to kids in a series of mystery novels and podcasts called The Fina Mendoza Mysteries. She also writes the companion blog Facts Behind the Fiction, available on the Chesapeake Press website (www.chesapeakepress.org).
