Each week we sing, “Where you go I will go, Beloved” to end our worship service and send each other back into the world remembering we do not go alone. This week we'll dig a little deeper into that song: how do we actually travel with each other as Beloveds and make real the idea that “your people are my people?" In this multigenerational service, we'll experiment with building a spiritual practice of solidarity that begins with listening to our own bodies' stories and moves outward playfully and meaningfully into family, church and wider and wider circles of community.

Llama Llama and the Bully Goat by Anna Dewdney

We review the book "Little Excavator" by Anna Dewdney.Support the show

Today, Lainey and I read Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney.

Will everything be OK? Will all the things that I am worrying about be OK? Will all the things you are worrying about be OK? Will all the things we are worrying about be OK? I would love to believe the premise of a children's story by Anna Dewdney with an evocative title--Everything Will be OK. The plot is that a little bunny worries about little things, like getting the wrong kind of sandwich for lunch; medium things, like losing a kite; and big things, like missing family. In each case the bunny wonders will everything be OK, and in each case the answer is yes, everything will be OK. This book resonates for me because it gives voice to an inchoate anxiety that many of us feel, and to a question that many of us ask: Will everything be OK? What do we do with this question that never goes away? And what do we do when the real answer to the question, if we are being honest with ourselves, is no. That happens to all of us. Our health, or the health of somebody we love, is not OK. Somebody we love is struggling with mental illness, which can be a formidable, sometimes seemingly intractable foe. Not OK. A spouse loses their partner and now lives a much lonelier life. Not OK. Somebody we love dies young, and our world is shaken. Not OK. Somebody loses their job and has to deal with the uncertainty of now what do I do, and the resultant financial anxiety. Not OK. Relational stress and conflict. Not OK. It's great when the problem gets solved, and everything is OK, but what happens when that does not happen? That is the situation for the Israelites in the middle of the Book of Exodus.

Llama Llama holidays. Jingle music. Lights ablaze. How long till that special date? Llama Llama has to wait. If there's one thing Llama Llama doesn't like, it's waiting. He and Mama Llama rush around, shopping for presents, baking cookies, decorating the tree . . . but how long is it until Christmas? Will it ever come? Finally, Llama Llama just can't wait any more! It takes a cuddle from Mama Llama to remind him that "Gifts are nice, but there's another: The true gift is, we have each other."

Llama-Llama series is our favourite!

Tucked into bed by his mama, Baby Llama immediately starts worrying when she goes downstairs, and his soft whimpers turn to hollers when she doesn't come right back. But just in time, Mama returns to set things right. Children will relate to Baby Llama's need for comfort, as much as parents will appreciate Mama Llama's reassuring message. *Summary from Goodreads

Anna Dewdney's classic rhyming tale introduces Llama Llama and his difficulty going to sleep after Mama Llama heads downstairs. Why doesn't she come when he calls for her?! Humorous bedtime drama ensues and will comfort as well as amuse the youngest of listeners!

Meredith and Kaytee have a special guest again this week to discuss our favorite picture books for the 2-5 year kiddos in your life! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each host: an author event, kid librarians, and a fantastic iTunes review. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We are each talking about two recent reads and we’ve got a variety of new titles that we cannot wait to discuss this week. For our deep dive, we are discussing our very favorite picture books for the 2-5 year old range. These kids are enraptured by great pictures, willing to sit for a great story, and ready to laugh at great jokes, so we’ve chosen some stand-out titles to share with you or the littles in your life. Abbey has a lot of great expertise in this area, so we are only too happy to have her input. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. We’ve got a childhood favorite, which may not be for kids, that has been read over and over again, a WWII novel told in a totally new way, and a reference book that belongs on every parent’s shelves. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

Get ready for bed and sweet dreams as Zoé reads Llama Llama Nighty Night by Anna Dewdney

We check out Saugatuck Brewing Company and take more than a few sips of their Neapolitan Milk Stout. Then it's Coogi sweater blankets, a very famous monk and even a couple musical numbers in the new classic Llama Llama Red Pajama, written and illustrated by Anna Dewdney. 

The Llama Llama Series by Anna Dewdney is a fun and simple series for children. In this episode, I read the story. Then, I read it faster. After that, I sing the story and rap the story. Encouraging children to have fun and connect to reading as an experience is key. ❤️

Anna Dewdney appears at the 2012 Library of Congress National Book Festival. For captions, transcript, and more information visit http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=5736.
