Farah feels alone, even when surrounded by her classmates. She listens and nods but doesn't speak. It's hard being the new kid in school, especially when you're from another country and don't know the language. Then, on a field trip to an apple orchard, Farah discovers there are lots of things that sound the same as they did at home, from dogs crunching their food to the ripple of friendly laughter. As she helps the class make apple cider, Farah connects with the other students and begins to feel that she belongs.Ted Lewin's gorgeous sun-drenched paintings and Eve Bunting's sensitive text immediately put the reader into another child's shoes in this timely story of a young Muslim immigrant. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/support

Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. During this time of Covid, many people aren't able to use the library in the same way as in the past. To help bring more stories to more readers, many publishing companies are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until June 30, 2022. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they're available! Today's story is shared with permission of HarperCollins Children's Books. Today's story is One Candle, by Eve Bunting. This is a more modern and realistic Hanukkah story, that I think you'll enjoy. It always brings a tear to my eye. Maybe it will for you, too. Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.

Then thread fruit on ice-pop sticks.Make dip:2.Stir together yogurt, orange juice concentrate, and honey until well combined. Serve with hearts.White Chocolate Raspberry Valentine’s Smoothie:Ingredients1 tbsp white chocolate chips1/2 cup nonfat vanilla greek yogurt3/4 cup frozen raspberries1 cup almond milk or milk of choice1/2 cup ice (only if using fresh raspberries)Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)InstructionsIn a small microwave safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips about 30 seconds and stir until smooth and melted through.

Let's play two truths and a lie about this week's podcast guests: They are twin sisters. One of them worked on Capitol Hill as the press secretary for two US Senators. One of them worked in the White House in the office of presidential speech writing. You guessed it...there's no lie. All three of those impressive facts are TRUTH. The moms on today's episode have very unique life experiences, and they share their knowledge about politics, government, and American history with other moms through their website TheAmericanMoms.com. On today's episode, they teach us how to make the upcoming patriotic holidays, particularly Memorial Day and the 4th of July, more meaningful than just a neighborhood pool party.

Washington, Jefferson, John Adams and their contemporaries, didn't walk around saying 'Isn't this fascinating living in the past? Aren't we wearing our funny clothes?' They lived in the present. The difference is, it was their present, not ours. They were caught up living in the moment exactly as we are, and with no more certainty of how things would turn out than we have."David McCullough
