Mirror Books

For author Peter Orner, mirror books are essential reading — for all ages — and include childhood favorites, stories he discovered as an adult and a classic he returned to years later with his children.

Mirror Books is a new podcast series from Book Public at Texas Public Radio about seeing ourselves — and discovering and knowing others — through books. Our inaugural guest is acclaimed author Sandra Cisneros, whose writing has become a mirror for countless readers. Listen as she discusses not just one mirror book, but many — and the ways these books she discovered from childhood through adulthood have remained important to her.
