Poetry Episode 4: The Woodpecker
Liked the episode? Let us know by sending a text message. It's spring time in Alberta, so let's celebrate with a poem about nature. Between the time when I wrote the episode and recorded it, all the snow melted! In this episode we share some marvelous facts about woodpeckers, as well as a poem. We talk about the woodpecker's long tongue, its zygodactylic toes, and the fact that its brain doesn't shake around. But here's another neat thing: woodpeckers have three eye-lids! Not only...

A Gift With Words
Liked the episode? Let us know by sending a text message. This is a story I've been meaning to write for a while. Many of the Sophie and Sebastian stories are about relationships and community. So I wanted the kids to do a kind deed. The challenge was to avoid being overly preachy and boring. You'll have to decide if the story succeeds in that. Writing "A Gift With Words" was challenging because it made me reflect on my own shortcomings. Living far away from parents is not always easy. This s...

Serendipity
Liked the episode? Let us know by sending a text message. Time for another Sophie and Sebastian story. Sophie recently broke her arm when she went sledding. Fortunately it was a minor buckle fracture, and she should be better soon. I also wanted to write about people's favourite words, and the way words can start to haunt us when we think about them a lot. Some of the more difficult words in this story are the following: Enjambment: when there is no pause at the end of a line of poetry ...

Sir Roderick of Switzerland
Liked the episode? Let us know by sending a text message. Many of our stories celebrate the passing of the seasons. There's something beautiful about the way the world changes all around us. Even if we might not love every season--and winter is a little long in Canada, where we live--it's still wonderful to experience so much variety! This story, then, is about autumn, when the leaves are falling, the days get shorter, and there's a coolness in the air. It's a story about playing...

Riddles and Clues
Liked the episode? Let us know by sending a text message. It's a rainy day, but you can always have fun inside. In this story, Sophie decides that it's time to play a hiding game. As you'll find out, the rules are very simple, but figuring out the clues and finding the prize before the other team does--now that's quite a challenge. This story was inspired by a memory of a children's book I read when I was a kid. I can't remember the title, but it was a story of children in a vill...

And what are these girls up to anyway? That of course is a secret, and you'll have to listen to find out ... P.S. This episode is inspired by something that happened to Sophie and S...

The Hospital Visit
Liked the episode? Let us know by sending a text message. One day, Bert decides to do something nice for Fran, but it doesn’t all go according to plan. Fortunately, Bert has some amazing friends who are more than happy to visit him at the hospital... This episode contains a lot of allusions to Winnie the Pooh, so I thought it might be fun to point out where the story of “The Hospital Visit” reveals a debt to A. A. Milne’s famous children’s classic. Obviously Bert’s grumpiness is reminiscent ...
