Synesthesia is when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously. Some examples include tasting words or linking colors to numbers and letters. It's not a medical condition, and not something to be cured, therefore it falls right under the neurodivergent umbrella.  Today's guest not only has synesthesia, she also just recently published a middle grade novel about it, which is fantastic and called The Color of Sound. Emily Barth Isler is the author of AfterMath, an award-winning middle grade novel about grief, resilience, friendship, math, and mime. Comedian and activist Amy Schumer calls AfterMath  "A gift to the culture," and author Judith Viorst pronounced it "pretty close to perfect." Emily's latest book, The Color of Sound, features a character who, like Emily, has synesthesia, and was published March 5, 2024. It has received starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal . In 2026, her first picture book, Always Enough Love, will be published by Nancy Paulsen Books. She has a BA in Film Studies from Wesleyan University and lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their two children. Follow Neuroversity on all our social platforms:Neuroversity WebsiteIGFacebookTwitterLinkedInPatreon

Gotowość na bycie rodzicem - skąd się bierze, po czym ją poznać, czy i w jaki sposób wpływa na nią stan zdrowia psychicznego? Jakie pytania warto sobie zadać przed podjęciem decyzji o posiadaniu dzieci? Jak kształtują nas schematy wyniesione z domu, a jak wyobrażenia i marzenia o własnym rodzicielstwie? W ramach cyklu "Można Zwariować x Ładne Bebe" rozmawiamy o tym z Aleksandrą Fabjańską - psycholożką, psychoterapeutką i mamą, specjalizującą się w tematach okołoporodowych, pracującą w Krakowskim Instytucie Psychoterapii oraz w Pracowni Pomocy Psychologicznej i Psychoterapii Solutio.

It seemed only fitting that since last week's podcast episode dealt so directly with the beginnings of life, why not focus on the end this time around? I'll tell you this much, though. If you'd informed Betsy, prior to this recording, that a 1971 picture book would be one of the best books she ever encountered on death, she would not have believed you. But she probably should have realized something was up when I saw that The Tenth Good Thing About Barney was by Judith Viorst. Today we deep dive into how good a name "Barney" is for a cat, whether the mom is trying to subtly regift her yellow scarf as a dead cat wrap, and whether this family's sodium intake is too high.

I wonder…what would count as the best day ever? I don't just mean for you. I mean for everyone. Pick a day, and I wager that scripture would agree with your high estimation. What do you think would count as the world's best day? Creation? Exodus? Covenant? Christmas? Good Friday? The Last Day? All good options. But one day includes and explains all of those days…and more.The sermon today is titled "The Best Day Ever." It is the second installment in our "He Is Risen" Series. The Scripture reading is from Jeremiah 16:14-15 (TLB). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on April 9, 2023. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve.

Katie and Mary explore the psychological downfall of thinking our lives will be better somewhere else and they use a children's book to start the conversation. In "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" by Judith Viorst, a little boy wants to move to Australia because bad things keep happening to him. In this episode, Katie and Mary discuss their own bad days, and the necessity to also see the good, as well reminding all of us that we can't runaway from ourselves. Support the showSupport the showWebsite: https://thealbrechtauthors.com

Nowadays we look around us at the well-oiled machinery of our advanced technological age and fondly muse that our society is as stable as bedrock. It is not. It is in fact a mad mishmash of individual fears, sacred cows, crazy desires - and a deep underlying sense of insecurity. The rock-solid state used to be the th century's secular TOTEM, for it was the symbolic appeasement of aporetic oedipal rage in a symbol - to Hegel as his many followers. Then radical opposition to this centrality arose through Marx, and the modern bifurcation of politics, which has been totalized in postmodernity, first arose. Why? Because religion was no longer the foundation of the state. As Freud says, we neurotics NEED a Totem, but that Totem was being politically dismantled. An Unbearable Lightness of Being was being born. The mad mishmash is our inheritance. And so we no longer have a secure substitute for our parents' love - our childhood Totem - which our inner Oedipus has cut out of our lives. So we hide the Bugaboo - that's the sum of our fears, our taboo - safely in the symbol of a Totem: our books, our TV & our Films. My own Oedipus took up his parricidal arms against the taboo when I was twenty. An overly affective type of kid, I had never really left my feathered parental nest. My inner Oedipus cut those ties, but they never stopped bleeding. Until I read Judith Viorst's Necessary Losses. The myth of uniformly happy family ties MUST die, a necessary loss. Without wings we can't fly. But back then I chose the false comfort of a Totem of icy alienation, like so many others. An invalid substitute for rage, because it too kills our SOULS. And reality gives us wings ONLY if we have a valid Totem to substitute for the Taboo of finding liberation from the myth of the nuclear family. You see, severing himself like that is Oedipus' undoing. As with the alienated. But it doesn't have to be like that. Isaiah's suffering Servant was someone I could identify with - and He is THE traditionally valid Totem. The Totem Freud couldn't accept. When we hate, we are killing Him. And so eventually, it is OURSELVES we are killing with our primitive rage. That happened to me, eventually, believe it or not! You see, I have managed to kill my own high opinion of myself with that same rage, and recover my inner humanity. As in the great new book Love and Rage, I had to USE my anger as a means toward the end of attaining tranquility. So I did. At the end of my road my heart is clear of spiderwebs - and happy. The thunderheads of my rage are dissipating in a new sunrise. For Freud was wrong. A true Totem is STILL viable, because it brings peace. And God is the Totem that leads us Home to Ourselves - WITHOUT illusions. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/you-betterknow4/message

Happy Halloween! It's the last day of October and that means a final spooky scary picture book is up for discussion. Hat tip to Stephanie Lucianovic for suggesting today's title. Kate and Betsy learn that apparently Judith Viorst is a big time fan of extra long titles (something that was hinted at when she created Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day). In today's book they see some seriously fashion forward footwear and hats, the true horror of cream cheese sandwiches, and why this book should actually be called MY MOM IS GASLIGHTING ME.

Alexander wakes up with gum in his hair. His best friend is mean to him. He has to eat lima beans for dinner. And there's kissing on TV. For Alexander, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Stephen and Rev. Jamison Doehring continue our sermon series "Childhood Stories and Big Life Questions: Is It Okay To Be Mad?" looking at Ephesians 4:25-32 and the children's book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by by Judith Viorst, Ray Cruz. You can email questions/comments to theelementpodcast@stpkaty.org   Topics Covered Include: Keep the conversation going. Why don't we have naps and snack time in our jobs? Talk about your anger. Dealing with anger via vindication. Jesus got angry. N.T. Wright is a smart man. It's hard to care about the 'we' over the 'I'. // Required listening: Revenge by Jon Foreman | The one question to rule them all: What places in your life do you need to focus on forgiveness?

Could you publish a book today where a sibling relationship is anything other than sunshine and roses by the story's conclusion? Betsy says no, and she says the elaborate revenge fantasy of this week's podcast topic, I'll Fix Anthony, is a healthy catharsis for some children. Kate, needless to say, disagrees. Judith Viorst (best known for Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day) and Arnold Lobel (best known for Frog and Toad) got together and created this truly original, one-of-a-kind book. But does that mean it's any good? Our skilled critics take a deep dive into its legacy today (and come up with some pretty different reactions).

In this episode, I talk about personal challenges I am facing now…still without coffee!!  Every challenge I face makes me stronger and better equipped to deal with other challenges. I’m growing through what I’m going through, and I’m looking forward to better days ahead!

Such a beautiful story . .day 28 of Awesome Author August

Alexander is a boy who was given some money, listen to the story to find out how he treats his money!

“I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there’s gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake, I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.” So begins the classic children’s book by Judith Viorst, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. We’ve all experienced days, weeks, maybe even years when everything goes wrong. But the unchanging nature of God means we can rejoice and worship even during those times. When everything crumbles, even then (especially then!) we can say: “I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength” (vv. 18–19). What could go wrong is vividly described (vv. 16–17). Babylon will conquer Judah as part of God’s judgment (Hab. 1:5–11). But God has guaranteed that their turn will come. Because he trusts in the Lord, Habakkuk can “wait patiently” for that day. Even if the fig tree doesn’t bud, the olive crop fails, and the fields are barren, God is faithful. Even if there are no sheep or cattle in the pens, he will rely on the Lord. The word “yet” in verse 18 indicates a contrast, and the prophet’s response overflows with faith (vv. 18–19). Despite these images of hardship and disaster, he will rejoice in the Lord. God is all-powerful and sovereign. There’s no way He will fail. His promises are as good as kept. Failure and success are not about us or circumstances. We stand on a mountaintop with feet like a deer, that is, with God we’re secure and victorious! >> Try writing a personal paraphrase of verses 17–19 from today’s reading. Fig trees not budding might become your basement flooding, for example. Make the situations and pictures personal, so that the joy in God also becomes personal!

I had the privilege of interviewing the legendary author Judith Viorst as part of the Women on the Move three-part series from the Streicker Center at Temple Emanu-El. Judith is basically who I want to be when I grow up. She has been a prolific writer for decades and just doesn't stop and is amazing. She wrote Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in 1972, which has sold over two million copies and of course has become a movie from Disney. Recently, she has also written many books for adults about each decade, books from your thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, up until now. She wrote Nearing Ninety, which is a fantastic book of poems, thoughts, and reflections. I loved our conversation and Judith's insights about paying attention to the world you're in - no matter what age you are!

On this episode of the Mrs. Bush's Story Time podcast, former First Lady Barbara Bush is joined by Garfield to read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, by Judith Viorst and published by Simon & Schuster. Doro Bush Koch hosts and welcomes special guest former First Lady Laura Bush, who shares tips on how to make reading a part of your family's everyday life.

The tiny threads that sew you and your beloved together are intimate and very private; and the loving touch is definitely one of those tiny threads that bind you to each other. It comes in many forms and flavors from a sentimental card or candy in a pretty box to a warm embrace. Flowers and a romantic dinner work as well. Whatever form it takes, the loving touch means that it's an uncommon moment, a moment for special friends and lovers. But alas, the cards will be read and the candy eaten, expensive presents discarded and sincere words forgotten. In time the flowers will wilt and the romantic dinner become but yesterday's fond memory. Something more is needed: a loving touch not to fade, not to be forgotten. It needs to provide that special advantage that Judith Viorst said marriage brings to the two of you. "One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again." To sustain your love until you fall in love again, the loving touch needs to last longer than the day and keep reminding, keep saying, "I love you." This spirit is hard to capture in a well-intended gift or simple verse. It isn't to be found in things you can touch and hold. Rather, the spirit of the loving touch is in the tie that binds. It is hard to define but impossible to miss. The loving touch that lasts, the kind that keeps saying, "I love you," is filled with added value that lasts far beyond the moment. What are these extras that make the loving touch linger past the moment? The added value includes affection any time your beloved needs a hug; and just as your beloved accepts you, warts and all, it's a two-way-street. There also are ingredients far less adult, far less mature. They are playful and gentle, spontaneous and mischievous. They are full of fun and good times, private games and warm summer evenings. These ingredients are for you and your beloved and for all the little kids like you who have to sometimes act your age, be adults, and take care of business. You do what you need to do as best you can; but when the child in you gets to hang out with the child who lives deep within your beloved, life is at its best. Now you know so there you go.

Grief is something we don't want to have to talk about with young children, but saying the right thing can make a difference in how children process a sad event. Dorothy talks with Judy Haus and Rachel Turtledove about handling grief with young children, both as parents and as educators. They discuss why it's important to NOT say that someone has "passed away" or "We lost him," and how parents serve as the model for this challenging emotion.

You know the beloved children's classic Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Today we talk with the amazing author, Judith Viorst! Judith shares her warmth, wisdom + cheeky humor about what it’s like to write books across genres for more than six decades – and what it was like not getting published for her first three decades! In honor of national poetry month, Judith will read an excerpt from her “decades series” most recent is her book Nearing Ninety: And Other Comedies of Late Life. Judith’s perspective on the joys + tribulations of life will remind you that laughter is truly the best medicine, at any age, to live an inspired life. SHOW NOTES:  As a young girl, Judith began writing as poetry felt like a natural second language to her. Her first piece was published in her 30s. Say yes and we'll figure it out. Advice from her husband before being published for the first time. The capacity for child-like wonder lives inside a lot of us, even as we get to be a middle-aged person. [click to tweet!] Remaining playful is something you cultivate. Judith's first children's book The Tenth Good Thing About Barney was inspired by a conversation with her young son about death. Get a copy of it here. Her original publisher turned down Alexander and the Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day which has sold more than 4 million copies. Get a copy of it here. Inspired by the characters in The Secret Garden, Judith creates characters that are "hard-likes": not easily likable but always redeemable by the end. Judith shares her personal life through her writing, highlighting the ways people are more connected than they're different. "When nobody reads this book, and nobody likes this book, please remind me of the joy I had writing it and how proud I am of it."– Judith to her husband when submitting the manuscript of Necessary Losses. This book went on to be on the New York Times bestseller list for almost two years. Get a copy of it here. Judith's latest book, Nearing Ninety, is a collection of poetry from her "decades" series. These include Hard to be Hip Over Thirty, How Did I Get to be Forty, Forever Fifty, Suddenly Sixty, I’m Too Young to be Seventy, Unexpectedly Eighty. Judith reads her favorite poem from Nearing Ninety "My Legacy".  "To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring." - George Santayana If today's episode inspired you to cultivate your childlike spirit, you'll love Live Inspired Podcast ep. 112 with artist, speaker + author Jason Kotecki and combat "adult-itis".

Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. 2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? Reliable.   3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? [She's been asking herself the same questions for 20 years and will call us when she has the answer!] 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? I can't count my husband because he'd be my #1 date even after 60 years. I wouldn't mind seeing my mother and asking her all the questions I was too dumb to ask her when she was alive. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Listen to people's stories, don't gossip, enjoy their joys, sympathize with their sorrows and be trustworthy of their secrets. 6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Don't; be so dumb and self-absorbed. Open your eyes. Look around a little more and stop worrying about what your hair looks like. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? A line from Sunlight on the Garden by Louis Macneice: And grateful to have sat under thunder and rain with you. And grateful, too, for sunlight on the garden. *** Did you enjoy today's episode?

Perdas são Difíceis Se fosse possível, nós tomaríamos todas as dores dos nossos filhos (físicas e emocionais). Se eu tivesse a opção, os meus filhos nunca sofreriam, mas essa opção não me é dada. Os nossos filhos vão passar por perdas grandes e pequenas. Em algum momento de suas vidas, eles vão sofrer com o falecimento de pessoas próximas. Não temos como controlar essas circunstãncias, mas podemos ajuda-los a lidarem com essas situações. Vamos aprender a equipar os nossos filhos para lidarem com essas perdas de modo saudável. Vamos ensina-los a buscarem consolo em Deus. Vamos aprender a falar sobre a morte com os nossos filhos. A Patricia Napolitano (a minha querida Tia Paty) é a entrevistada de hoje. Ela está aqui para nos dar ferramentas e vocabulário para esses momentos. Ela é psicóloga, mestre em educação, e mais uma pilha de coisas, inclusive minha madrinha de casamento! :) Não deixe de escutar tudo que ela tem a dizer, porque todos nós precisamos de ajuda para lidar com perdas. A medida que nós aprendemos e lidamos com o nosso próprio sofrimento, podemos ajudar os nossos filhos a lidarem com o deles. Não vamos perder essa oportunidade de apontar os nossos filhos para os braços do Deus que pode curar suas feridas e secar as suas lágrimas.   Sobre o que conversamos? A Tia Paty começa contando uma história engraçada de como ela nem sempre lidou com esse assunto da melhor forma com os seus dois filhos. Ela fala sobre as “mentirinhas” que contamos sobre a morte (cachorro foi pra fazenda... o vovô virou estrelinha...) e o impacto que elas tem nas crianças. Nós também conversamos sobre a importância de lidarmos com a nossa própria dor para podermos ajudar os nossos filhos a lidarem com a deles (eu dei alguns exemplos da minha vida sobre o assunto). Ela define o que é “ser forte” para o seu filho, e o que não é! Como aprendemos em Eclesiastes 3:1-8, devemos ensinar os nossos filhos que há um tempo para tudo. Há tempo para nascer e morrer... tempo para chorar e tempo para rir. Recursos Mencionados Os dois livros que a Tia Paty recomendou para crianças estão fora de linha. Não consegui encontrar um link onde é possível compra-los, mas imagino que em algumas livrarias locais, ou até em sebos seja possível encontra-los. Mas de qualquer maneira, aqui estão os nomes e autores. "Quando Alguém Muito Especial Morre", da autora Marge Heegard. O segundo livro é "A História de Uma Folha" do autor Leo Buscaglia. Esse livro também não achei onde comprar na internet, mas achei um vídeo no youtube onde o livro é lido. Caso queira escutar, aqui está o link para aquele vídeo. Lembre-se de enriquecer esses recursos com as verdades da Bíblia, e com tudo que Deus diz a respeito da vida e da morte. Já o livro que ela recomendou para os adultos é de fácil acesso. O nome é "Perdas Necessárias" da autora Judith Viorst. Devocional: Um recurso que eu disponibilizo toda semana é o devocional semanal para acompanhar o episódio. Vamos deixar Deus moldar os nossos corações, para podermos educar os nossos filhos através do nosso exemplo, e não só das nossas palavras. A minha oração é que esse devocional seja um instrumento pelo qual Deus pode trazer consolo e cura para o seu coração. Se você quiser ver os devocionais de outros episódios, vá para a página Sondando o Coração Sondando o Coração episódio 31   Como faço para me inscrever? Você sempre tem a opção de escutar diretamente aqui do site, mas o que eu sugiro é que você siga as instruções para receber os episódios diretamente no seu celular.

If you are a parent, grandparent, nanny, or caregiver to small children, you will definitely want to listen to this episode! We're talking all about our library's story time and getting tips and advice from our story time librarian! We cover everything from what makes a good read-aloud book to how to encourage resistant readers to love stories. Books mentioned in this episode: Journey by Aaron Becker The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney The Pigeon Series by Mo Willems Press Here by Herve Tullet Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson The Book with No Pictures by BJ Novak Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst

After promising Kate that they'd do a book by a lady, Betsy had to determine the best possible choice. Her idea was to look on her old Top 100 Picture Books Poll and see who the top women on there were. #1? Margaret Wise Brown. #2 was Judith Viorst and this book. You know, you never know which books are going to provide you with a plethora of information. This book? Kate had to edit every "um" and "uh" out of the recording to winnow the yammering down to a mere 45 minutes. Still was fun, though. Show Notes: - Betsy couldn't conjure up the name on the spot, but the Boxtrolls movie was based on Here Be Monsters by Alan Snow. - Here's the Viorst bio on Wikipedia. Betsy still finds it oddly charming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Viorst - Is Ray Cruz dead? No, but it was difficult to find that information online. If you look at the webpage dedicated to his papers at the de Grummond collection, they state that "Cruz lived in New York City until his death." http://www.lib.usm.edu/legacy/degrum/public_html/html/research/findaids/DG0240f.html -For the full Show Notes please visit http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2018/04/23/fuse-8-n-kate-alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day-by-judith-viorst

Lulu and the Brontosaurus by Judith Viorst

Judith Viorst ("Wait for Me: And Other Poems About the Irritations and Consolations of a Long Marriage") joins the show. We discuss how her long-standing marriage translates into poetry as well as our passion for books.

From the moment Alexander wakes up things just do not go his way. As he gets up, chewing gum that was in his mouth the night before winds up in his hair, he trips on his skateboard and drops his sweater into the sink while the water was running. At breakfast, his brothers, Anthony and Nick, reach into their cereal boxes and find amazing prizes, while he ends up with just cereal. Things go rapidly downhill from there. A running gag throughout the book is Alexander repeating several times that he wants to move to Australia because he thinks it's better there. It ends with his mother's assurance that everybody has bad days, even those who live there.[1] In the Australian and New Zealand versions, he wants to move to Timbuktu instead (presumably because he already lives in Australia). In 1990 the book was adapted into a 25-minute animated musical television special that aired on HBO in the United States. Illustrated by Ray Cruz. Read by Skidompha's summer librarian Dawn Greenleaf.

This Week's Review This week’s contributor is Heather Preusser, with a review of a debut middle grade novel from Esther Ehrlich and a tip from Chris Crutcher. This week’s guest is Robin Preiss Glasser, illustrator of Fancy Nancy written by Jane O'Connor. Robin has also worked as an illustrator for Judith Viorst, Garrison Keillor, Lynne Cheney and Sarah Ferguson.   Robin and I talk about Who was the inspiration for Fancy Nancy. Her number video rule. How she transforms author art notes in to finish illustrations. Note to my podcast listeners: When I was listening to Fresh Air on NPR I thought, "Hey! I could do that, but with children's publishing as my focus!" That's how Brain Burps About Books got started. Writing is so solitary. I thought it would be a great way to get to talk to my friends and make new ones, plus I could help others learn. Maybe I'd learn some stuff myself, too. I've had the privilege of talking to the first three National Ambassadors for Young People's Literature, to librarians and New York Time's bestselling authors. I've interviewed to booksellers and publishers, writers, illustrators, app creators, and app distributors, and more! There is always something new on the horizon to learn and to share. So many listeners have asked how to support the show, and actually, now you can. I've installed a donate button to help defray the costs of producing the show. What do you learn or get out of Brain Burps every week? If it's worth donating a dollar, two dollars, five, or whatever you think the show is worth to you, it would help enormously. The show costs $20 a month to keep on the server, and that's only if there are four shorter episodes in a month. That number doesn't include other costs like my time to research and record, post, edit the intros and outros, web hosting, and equipment and software to do all this. I ended up loving podcasting. I love my listeners. My "Burpers!"
