The Day of Ahmed's Secret As young Ahmed delivers butane gas to customers all over the city of Cairo, he thinks, I have a secret. All day long, as he maneuvers his donkey cart through streets crowded with cars and camels, down alleys filled with merchants' stalls, and past buildings a thousand years old, Ahmed keeps his secret safe inside. It is so special, so wonderful, that he can reveal it only to his family, only when he returns home, only at the end of the day. Find this book on Amazon.

Hi Everyone! My special guest is Merrill Rainey, Picture-Book-Creator and Paper-Toy-Maker. Here is more about Merrill: Growing up, Merrill Rainey spent most of his Saturday afternoons drawing, watching monster movies, and going on imaginary adventures. Today, he is a cowboy-boot-wearing, picture-book-creator and paper-toy-maker. Merrill's work focuses on exploring creativity and imaginative play. His current titles include Roar! I'm a Dinosaur (winner of the Good Housekeeping Best Kids' Board Book of 2022), Oink! I'm a Pig, and the Color, Cut, Create series. His newest illustrated title Giants Are Very Brave People, written by Florence Parry Heide, is a reimagined classic picture book about a little giant that learns to be brave with the help of a new friend. Merrill also works for many children's magazines like Highlights, Ranger Rick, and Humpty Dumpty. He has served on faculty at the Highlights Foundation retreat center and is currently the illustrator coordinator for the Northern Ohio chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Merrill lives in the village of Whitehouse, Ohio, with his editor (his wife), subject matter experts (his kids), and very opinionated coworkers (a very hungry toad and some crabby hermit crabs).  To see Merrill's work: https://littlerainey.com/ Merrill's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littlerainey Thank you for listening!

Actor-network-theory (or ANT) posits that the world is made up of forces, given physical form–it’s actually more complicated than it sounds. I gave a brief and inadequate explanation of how this theory applies to creative writing. (All brief explanations of actor-network-theory are misleading.) A better explanation of the particular point in ANT that I referenced is given in “Unscrewing the Big Leviathan,” a paper by ANT theorists Michel Callon and Bruno Latour. If you want to learn more about ANT, you can visit the Actor Network Resource. Tales for the Perfect Child is by Florence Parry Heide, with illustrations by Victoria Chess. Right now it is on sale on Amazon for a dollar or so. It is definitely worth the shipping costs, as it is a very light little book. Charmed Life is by Diana Wynne Jones, one of my favorite authors. She is no relation of Tim Wynne-Jones. You can buy fitting shell patterns from the major pattern makers, such as Vogue (the last two patterns on the page). Each fitting shell is customized for that company’s patterns. You may need to make other shells to give yourself baselines for working from patterns published by other companies, because their sizes may be different. Threads magazine has a library of excellent sewing tips and instructions; here is an article on fitting shells, also known as slopers. Here is another that briefly describes ease, and another really helpful one on evaluating the quality of a given pattern. It is about sewing, but has good ideas for a knitter to think about. Want to know how to measure yourself accurately? You may need a friend to help get the hard-to-reach measurements. This Threads article shows you how. Find out about darts! The VogueKnitting article on fitting is by Lily M. Chin, and came out in the Spring/Summer 2008 issue, on page 40. Also see Lily Chin’s Couture Crochet Workshop: Mastering Fit, Fashion, and Finesse. Adele P. Margolis wrote Make Your Own Patterns: A Primer in Patternmaking for Those Who Like to Sew. What is a gusset? Gibbs’ wrestling move is actually a martial arts move (silly me) known as a C-step. An “Ender complex,” as I have named it, is the tendency to hit back at an aggressor as hard and as long as it takes to destroy that aggressor, so that he/she/it will not dare or be able to attack again. I named this complex after Ender Wiggins, the protagonist of the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. (Hi, Kris and family, if you’re listening.) Rat aggression can be caused by many things, including an oversupply of testosterone. Note that not all male rats or even dominant male rats are aggressive toward humans. Most of them are very sweet, very bad boys. My McGee is totally dominant, must supervise everything and eat all the good stuff first, and he is a total cuddlebunny to my husband and me. A very active, toothy cuddlebunny. He pinches and pulls the other boys’ loose skin with his teeth all the freakin’ time, but he doesn’t pinch us. The most straightforward thing to do is get the aggressive boys neutered, since mine hate being separated, even when they are in a turf war. (This is so codependent of them.) I don’t know what to do for girls. Finding an appropriate vet to do the job can be tricky because rats have different physiology “down there” than dogs, cats, and rabbits, and if the surgery is not performed correctly, your rat can leak bad stuff and get infected and suffer a lot and then die. So do your best to find a good vet. The music in this podcast is included by permission. “Jim the Toothbrush” is from Eric Strom’s Daily Song archive.
