Sunday Story, Audio Books #1

12/1/2019

I've written before how helpful it is to record your own audio books, and since I wrote that post, I've recorded a whole store of books for my daughter. In my own experience, when my daughter needs me to help her regulate but might not want physical touch, listening to my voice can help create a connection through a book I've recorded for her. 
​​Each week, I'll share one Sunday story that I've recorded for her - a bit about the book itself, why I recorded it and how we've used it. You are welcome to use these recordings with your own kids in case you can't record your own.

The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson
Recording Length: 5:00 minutes

This book is a wonderful text by an author who deserves her own book bin in any classroom or home. Jacqueline Woodson spans children's literature from early literature through adulthood and some of my own personal favorite books are hers. I want to make sure to share one of my favorite authors with my daughter.

In this book, my daughter makes a specific connection to the little girl bringing her lunch to school and thinking internally about how rice is the most popular food in the world. My daughter often brings rice to school for lunch and felt good knowing that the 
​brown part in her heritage is affirmed through that simple reminder about food. Rice is more popular than sandwiches, I usually tell her. My daughter felt seen by Jacqueline Woodson in those pages.

​We hope you enjoy as much as we do!
