React Component goes blank when wrapped in StoreProvider

Question

Hi I have a very simple react component which works

import React, {Fragment} from 'react';

export default function App() : JSX.Element {
    return (
        <Fragment>
            <h1>Rick and Morty</h1>
            <p>Pick your favorite episode!!!</p>
        </Fragment>
    )
}

I render this using RenderDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'))

Now I change my Render method to

import {StoreProvider} from './Store';
import App from './App';
ReactDOM.render(<StoreProvider><App/></StoreProvider>, document.getElementById('root'););

and My Store looks like

import React, {useReducer} from 'react';
interface IState {
    episodes: string[],
    favorites: string[]
};

interface IAction {
    type: string,
    payload: any
};

const initialState : IState = {
    episodes: [],
    favorites: []
};
export const Store = React.createContext<IState | any>(initialState);
function reducer(state: IState, action: IAction): IState {
    switch(action.type) {
        case 'FETCH_DATA':
            return state;
        default:
            return state;
    }
}
export function StoreProvider(props: any): JSX.Element {
    const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);
    return <Store.Provider value={{state, dispatch}}>{props.childen}</Store.Provider>
}

As soon as I do it my react component goes blank and there are no error messages or anything in the developer console or the webpack-dev-server.

Why did it go blank? I am not able to troubleshoot this because there is absolutely no error messages

Shouldn't it be props.children, instead of props.childen in StoreProvider render function?

You could've added prop types to StoreProvider to prevent this from happening

type IStoreProviderProps = { children: React.ReactNode }
export function StoreProvider({ children }: IStoreProviderProps): JSX.Element {
    const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);
    return <Store.Provider value={{state, dispatch}}>{children}</Store.Provider>
}
