  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Rai's Children's Story Hour. As a reminder,
• 0:05
  Reali is a reading service intended for people who are
• 0:09
  blind or have other disabilities that make it difficult to
• 0:12
  read printed material. Today we will continue with the book
• 0:17
  Anna and Honoring Heroes. Your reader today is Diane. As
• 0:23
  I just said, we're going to continue with the book
• 0:26
  Anna and Andrew Honoring Heroes. It was published by Calico Kid,
• 0:34
  an imprint of Magic Wagon Adobe Books.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It has a copyright.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Year of twenty twenty one and the author is Christine Platte.
• 0:48
  Chapter three, Little Drummers. Once they got off the Metro,
• 0:52
  the Lewis family head launch in an African restaurant not
• 0:55
  far from the memorial. Why don't you tell Ann and
• 0:59
  Andrew a bit more of about African Americans in the
• 1:01
  Civil War, Mama.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Suggested to Papa.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: While they ate, that way the memorial will be extra special.
• 1:09
  That's a great idea. Papa reached over to grab a
• 1:12
  large envelope he had sat next to him. Ain't and
• 1:16
  Andrew could not wait to see what was inside. The
• 1:20
  envelope was full of Papa's research. He showed Aint and
• 1:23
  Andrew pictures of African American soldiers in old military uniforms.
• 1:30
  There were even pictures of weapons used on the battlefield.
• 1:33
  Papa pulled out an old photograph, and here's a picture
• 1:37
  of our ancestor, Sergeant Samuel Lewis. Anne and Andrew looked
• 1:41
  closely at the black and white image. Sergeant Lewis looked
• 1:45
  very brave in his uniform. Wow, An, and Andrews said,
• 1:49
  Papa smiled. More than two hundred thousand brave African Americans
• 1:54
  served in the Civil War, and Sergeant Lewis was one
• 1:57
  of them. Then Papa pulled out a picture of a
• 2:00
  colorful drum. Soldiers played drums in the war. An I asked, yes,
• 2:06
  drums played an important row for soldiers. Poppy explained, some
• 2:10
  called them freedom drums. Did soldiers like to dance to music,
• 2:15
  Andrew asked. Papa laughed, Well, I'm sure they did, but
• 2:20
  there wasn't much time for dancing. There were no telephones
• 2:23
  or emails like we have today, so soldiers used drums
• 2:27
  to send messages. Each beat shared important information. Because the
• 2:32
  sound was so loud, messages could travel a great distance.
• 2:36
  That's so neat, Andrews said. And guess what else, Papa said.
• 2:41
  Some of the drummers were only eight or nine years old.
• 2:44
  Many of the young drummers grew up to serve in
• 2:47
  the war. Ain't and Andrews smiled at each other. It
• 2:50
  was wonderful to know that children helped fight for freedom too,
• 2:55
  Chapter four, A March for Heroes. Everyone talked about Papa's
• 3:00
  research while walking to the memorial. I enjoyed seeing pictures
• 3:04
  of women cooking meals and working as nurses to help soldiers.
• 3:08
  Mama said, I loved learning about the freedom drums. Hannah
• 3:12
  hugged Sissy me too. Andrew agreed, I could have been
• 3:17
  one of the drummer boys. He marched around and pretended
• 3:20
  he was beating a drum. Well, guess who was a
• 3:23
  drummer boy, Papa asked, our ancestor, Sergeant Lewis. Really, Andrew
• 3:30
  did a wiggle dance. So cool, he was one of
• 3:33
  the drummer boys who grew up to serve in the war.
• 3:36
  Papa explained, Well, look for his name at the memorial.
• 3:40
  Soon they reached the African American Civil War Memorial. The
• 3:44
  large bronze statue of several soldiers with weapons was beautiful.
• 3:49
  Part of the monument even displayed children. One was carrying
• 3:53
  a doll. Look Ain't, explained, It's just like Sissy. Such
• 3:58
  cool uniforms, and said. The family spent time looking at
• 4:02
  soldiers' names on the walls near the sculpture. We found him,
• 4:07
  An and Andrews said, there on the wall was the
• 4:10
  name Sergeant Samuel Lewis. What did you think we should
• 4:14
  do to honor his service, Mama asked, An and Andrew
• 4:19
  thought for a moment, I think we should march around
• 4:22
  the memorial, suggested Anna. Andrew agreed. We can pretend to
• 4:27
  beat freedom drums in his honor. As the Lewis family marched,
• 4:31
  others who were there joined them. Anne and Andrew felt
• 4:34
  very proud to honor Sergeant Lewis and all the heroes
• 4:39
  who served in the Civil War. Our next set of
• 4:43
  books are going to be about camping, and the first
• 4:45
  one is titled Going Camping. It was published by Bumba
• 4:52
  Books Learner Publications. It has a copyright year of twenty
• 4:57
  seventeen and the author is Harold Tea Rover. Camping time.
• 5:04
  Camping is fun. We spend the day and night outside.
• 5:08
  Adults set up the tent, kids help to then they
• 5:12
  all set out their sleeping bags. Many campers go on hikes.
• 5:16
  They see trees and other plants. They can see wild animals.
• 5:20
  What else do you think you can see while hiking?
• 5:24
  Adults build a fire. Some campers roast hot dogs over
• 5:28
  the fire. They eat at a picnic table. What other
• 5:32
  foods could you roast over a fire? The sun goes down.
• 5:36
  Everyone gathers near the fire. People sing songs, they tell stories.
• 5:42
  Campers get to roast marshmallows. They make s'mores to eat later.
• 5:47
  The fire goes out. It is dark. Look at the
• 5:50
  stars they are very bright. Why do you think stars
• 5:54
  look so bright when you go camping? Now it's time forbid.
• 5:59
  Everyone goes into the tent. They get into their sleeping
• 6:02
  bags and go to sleep. The sun rises in the
• 6:06
  morning time to wake up, everyone cleans the campsite before
• 6:11
  going home. Camping supplies in the story where tent some
• 6:17
  war's ingredients, which is graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate, sleeping
• 6:22
  bag and hiking boots.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Our next book is.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: S force More's a Camping Alphabet and it was published
• 6:36
  by Sleeping Bear Press. It has a copyright of two
• 6:41
  thousand and seven and the author is Helen Foster James A.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Is for adventure.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Let's camp from A to Z on mountains and deserts
• 6:51
  or beaches. If you want to have.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Fun, follow me.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Campers enjoy the outdoor from a desert floor to mountain
• 7:01
  peak or by lake. They hike, fish, climb rocks, watch
• 7:06
  wild animals, examine wild flowers, listen for birds, canoe kayaking more.
• 7:13
  Home for the night might be a tent, trailer or
• 7:16
  motor home. Camping became more popular when cars became affordable.
• 7:21
  Campers packed their cars full of gear and headed for adventure.
• 7:25
  They drove to places they couldn't visit when they used
• 7:28
  trains or steamships for transportation. Roads were primitive in the
• 7:33
  early nineteen hundreds, but campers liked roughing it. Soon everyone
• 7:38
  liked camping. Autumaker Henry Ford, inventor Thomas Edison, tire manufacturer
• 7:43
  Harvey Firestone, and president Warren Harding went on a camping
• 7:47
  trip together in the Blue Ridge Mountains in nineteen twenty one.
• 7:51
  Before camping, it's important to learn how to respect nature,
• 7:54
  keep safe, and have fun with family and friends. Read
• 7:58
  on to learn how to be a happy camper. B
• 8:02
  is for our beach camp with the water's edge nearby.
• 8:06
  We paddle, swim, and fish beneath a bright blue sky.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Beach.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Camps can be near an ocean, river, or lake. The
• 8:14
  gear that campers take depends on their water activities. Campers
• 8:18
  who fish, for example, take fishing poles, line and bait.
• 8:23
  Every boat must keep safe by taking and wearing a
• 8:27
  life jacket or a PFD personal flotation device. Canoeists to
• 8:31
  paddle their canoe to see scenery and get exercise. Some
• 8:35
  paddle from one camp site to another each day, or
• 8:38
  even from one lake to another, with their gear tucks
• 8:41
  safely in their canoe. Minnesota's Voyagers National Park was named
• 8:46
  for French Canadian trappers who traveled long ago in birch
• 8:50
  bark canoes. Today it's lakes and bays, or favorite canoeing
• 8:54
  and kayaking areas at California's Channel Islands National Park. Papers
• 9:00
  arriving boats, permits, and reservations are needed to camp at
• 9:04
  these primitive camp sites. Snorkelers, pike swimsuits, fins, mask and
• 9:10
  snorkel and gearbags for camping on nearby, privately owned Catalina Island.
• 9:16
  Lake Meat is one of the world's largest artificial created
• 9:19
  lakes and a favorite boating fishing and swimming area. It's
• 9:23
  located on the Arizona, Nevada border. See it for canyons
• 9:28
  and few are as great as the Grand Slowly carved
• 9:31
  by nature's knives of water, wind, and sand, Arizona's Grand
• 9:37
  Canyon National Park is one of the world's most amazing canyons.
• 9:41
  The Colorado River helped carve this giant chasm. It's nearly
• 9:46
  a mile deep in some places. There are many hiking
• 9:49
  trails in the park. Some visitors ride a mule to
• 9:53
  the bottom to camp. Others raft through the canyon on
• 9:56
  the Colorado River and camp by the river's edge. The
• 10:02
  Grand Canyon is a World Heritage Site. Utahs Bryce Canyon
• 10:07
  National Park and Zion National Park are two other well
• 10:10
  known canyon areas. They are famous for their beauty and
• 10:14
  amazing geological formations. There are many canyons with trails and
• 10:19
  sites to explore in campgrounds in most every state and
• 10:23
  around the world. Boots are an important piece of gear
• 10:26
  for hiking up and down canyons. Sneakers are fine for
• 10:30
  some camping trips, but for more steam strenuous hikes, it
• 10:35
  is important to wear boots that give ankle support and
• 10:38
  have sows that grip rocks. Hikers need to save energy
• 10:42
  to hike back up a canyon after they have hiked down.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: D is for the desert.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Look carefully and see the many plants and animals that
• 10:54
  live here, wild and free. The desert is a fascinating
• 10:58
  camping environment. Campers must look carefully to notice the variety
• 11:02
  of flowers and animals that live in the desert. Different
• 11:08
  animals and plants live in a specific desert area and
• 11:11
  have adaptations. Some desert animals, for example, are nocturnal and
• 11:16
  are awake in the evening to hunt for food when
• 11:19
  it's cooler. Deserts can be extremely hot in the summer,
• 11:23
  making them favorite camping areas in winter in spring. In spring,
• 11:27
  desert floors burst with a carpet of colorful wildflowers and
• 11:31
  looming cacti when there is a perfect combination of rain
• 11:35
  and timing. Flowers may be as small as a pinhead,
• 11:38
  are large like the a cotillo, bright red flowers. Areos
• 11:45
  are sandy river washes that may look like a comfortable
• 11:48
  tent spot, but they can flood quickly during a thunderstorm,
• 11:52
  so always avoid camping in low areas where water can collect.
• 11:56
  Some desert camp sites have drinkable water, but if not,
• 12:00
  be sure to take at least one gallon of water
• 12:02
  per person per day and drink it to avoid becoming dehydrated.
• 12:07
  Juice and soda may seem thirst quenching, but water is essential.
• 12:13
  Desert campers need light color clothing to keep cool during
• 12:16
  the day and layers of clothing to put on on
• 12:19
  nippy nights. Desert campers always pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and wide
• 12:25
  brim hat for sun protection. Death Valley National Park is
• 12:29
  the driest, hottest, and lowest location in North America. Joshua
• 12:34
  Tree National Park is where the unusual looking Joshua trees grow.
• 12:39
  They grow slowly but can live more than two hundred years.
• 12:42
  They look like they have oddly shaped outstretched arms. Many
• 12:46
  desert areas are protected to preserve their fragile environment, but
• 12:51
  other areas are set aside for recreational fun with dune
• 12:55
  buggies and other off roaded vehicles. Ease for emergencies that
• 13:03
  happen anywhere, so just in case one does occur, we
• 13:06
  carefully prepare. Here are ten essentials campers must pike to
• 13:11
  keep safe and be prepared in an emergency. Sun protection, sunscreen, sunglasses,
• 13:17
  hat with the brim, lip protection, flashlighter, headlight and extra
• 13:22
  fresh batteries, whistle, map compass and know how to use it.
• 13:27
  Extra food and water, waterproof matches and a waterproof container
• 13:31
  and fire starter such as a candle. First aid kit
• 13:35
  pocket knife are multi use tool. Extra clothing and rain gear.
• 13:40
  First AI kit with bandages, most skin and aniseptic ointment
• 13:44
  helps with minor problems including blisters, scrapes, and insect bikes bites.
• 13:50
  Mini campers add insect repellent to their list of essentials
• 13:54
  for safety. Keep a whistle handy on a cord around
• 13:57
  your neck. A whistle signals that help is needed, so
• 14:00
  blow it only in emergency and then stay. Put a
• 14:04
  lantern lights campsite for everyone, but each person needs a
• 14:07
  personal flashlight. Headlights are handy. Some campers consider toilet paper
• 14:13
  the eleventh essential f is for foliage with changing looks
• 14:21
  in every season spring, summer, fall and winter. Would you
• 14:24
  like to know the reason campers enjoy the beauty of
• 14:27
  changing leaves in each seas In each season, trees like maple, oak, birch,
• 14:33
  and aspen lose their leaves in the fall after first
• 14:36
  turning brilliant colors.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Of scarlet, orange.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Or goat leaf peepers search for the locations of the
• 14:42
  most beautiful fall leaves. Vermont is known for its maple
• 14:46
  trees and their glorious fall colors that can Combaka's Highway.
• 14:52
  In New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest, winds wines through
• 14:56
  vibrant views of autumn leaves. Conifers say, pine, spruce and
• 15:02
  hemlock trees are cone bearing trees and keep their leaves
• 15:05
  or nater needles all year.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Forests are a.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Mix of deciduous and comfert trees. Leaves have different shapes,
• 15:13
  like a feather mitten or a fan. Become a leaf
• 15:16
  expert and look closely at leaves and notice their shapes.
• 15:20
  Although most leaves are lovely and safe to touch, learn
• 15:23
  how to recognize and avoid poison oak, poison ivy and
• 15:27
  other irritating plants. Pants help protect skin from poisonous plants.
• 15:32
  A helpful poison oak poison ivy rule is the leaves
• 15:37
  of three Let it be if you see it, don't
• 15:41
  touch it. Gs for the gear you'll need to organize
• 15:46
  and pack to keep your camping full of fun and
• 15:49
  bring you safely back. Camping gear includes a shelter, cooking
• 15:54
  supplies and food, clothing, personal needs, and essentials. The gear
• 15:59
  camper need depends on their camping activities, the camp's location,
• 16:04
  this season, and weather. It's smart to make a gear
• 16:08
  list before packing to make sure you take everything that
• 16:11
  you will need. Always pack just noughgear to keep safe
• 16:15
  and comfortable. Many campers use a tent for their shelter.
• 16:20
  You pitch a tent to put it up, and strike
• 16:22
  it to take it down. The top layer of a
• 16:24
  tent is a rain fly and it protects campers from
• 16:28
  rain and snow. Pose Hold a tent up in pegs
• 16:31
  or steaks. Keep a tent in place even in gusty winds.
• 16:36
  A groundclough under a tent helps keep it clean and dry.
• 16:40
  Tents can be small in size and just big enough
• 16:42
  for one person to a spacious tint for an entire family.
• 16:47
  There are different shapes, like a dome, aFrame or a
• 16:49
  pup tent. The type of tint you use depends on
• 16:53
  the type of camping you will be doing at the
• 16:55
  time of the year you will be doing it. Temporary
• 16:59
  shelters called bivoe wax are made by placing tarp over
• 17:05
  a low tree branch or over a rope tied between
• 17:08
  two trees. Camping clothes should be made of fabrics that
• 17:12
  protect from the sun, wind, and rain. Take close to
• 17:15
  wear over each other in layers. This makes it easy
• 17:18
  to add clothing as the day becomes colder, or to
• 17:21
  remove it when it gets warmer. Brightly colored clothes make
• 17:25
  it easy to spot a hiker on a trail. Sturdy
• 17:28
  boots and clean, dry socks keep a hiker's feet comfortable.
• 17:32
  Always pick rain gear to be prepared for sun, thunderstorms,
• 17:36
  and weather changes. Personal gear, like gear like a toothbrush
• 17:41
  and comb, can be stowed in a ditty bag or
• 17:44
  stuff sack. Sleeping bags and down jackets can be stuffed
• 17:48
  and stored in a stuffed sack to make them compact
• 17:53
  and keep them clean. Stuffed sack stuffed with a soft jacket.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Makes a comfy pillow.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Some campers take a cell phone, but remember they don't
• 18:04
  always work in camping areas.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: H is for hikers whose boots protect their.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Feet while hiking on a rocky trail or through the
• 18:14
  desert's heat. Some campers hit the trail on hikes near
• 18:18
  their campsite. A day pack holds three essentials A hiking
• 18:21
  stick helps keep a hiker balanced, especially when tired or
• 18:26
  crossing a stream. Always hike with an adult body and
• 18:30
  make sure someone can't knows where you're going and when
• 18:33
  you will return. Backpackers take longer trips with gear they
• 18:37
  need for the entire trip in their backpack. Their pack
• 18:40
  is large enough to hold all their gear, but as
• 18:43
  light as possible to be comfortable. They even pack a
• 18:45
  tiny stove and lightweight freeze, dride or dehydrated food. Hiking
• 18:50
  trails are very different. At Hawaii, Volcanos National Park, hikers
• 18:58
  cross lava form by an ancient volcano. Olympic National Park
• 19:02
  hikers walk through for its rainforest that gets twelve to
• 19:06
  fourteen feet of.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Rain each year.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: The Pacific Crest Trail, a National scenic trail, travels from.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Mexico to Canada.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It makes its way two six hundred and fifty miles
• 19:16
  through California, Oregon, and Washington, passing through six of the
• 19:20
  seven North American Echo zones. Hikers who complete the entire
• 19:25
  National Scenic Trail are called through Hikers. Eyes for insects
• 19:31
  like butterflies and bees, or ladybugs and dragonflies and itty
• 19:35
  bitty fleas. Insects are amazing and there are plenty to
• 19:38
  see on a camping trip. Insects have six legs, three pairs,
• 19:43
  and a body that is divided into three main parts, head, thorax,
• 19:47
  and abdomen. Most insects have wings and a pair of antenna.
• 19:52
  Some people think ticks, spiders, and scorpions are insects, but
• 19:55
  they're not. Butterflies have brightly colored wings, intricate pad. Did
• 20:00
  you know they have taste sensors on their feet? Hear
• 20:04
  that mosquitoes hum? That's its wings beating five hundred to
• 20:08
  a thousand times a second. If you were as strong
• 20:11
  as an ant, you could pick up a car. Be
• 20:13
  sure to store camping food away from those hungry ants.
• 20:17
  Campers may encounter pesky insects such as ants, chiggers, or mosquitoes,
• 20:22
  but only one percent of all insects is harmful. If
• 20:26
  you react to insects bites, remember to take your allergy treatment.
• 20:30
  Some mosquitoes can be avoided by staying away from stagnant
• 20:34
  pools of water. Insect repellent, long sleeves, and sometimes even
• 20:38
  wearing a net over your head will help keep bugs
• 20:41
  from bugging you. Jay is for John and for Juliet.
• 20:48
  They both love nature and praying for people who camped
• 20:51
  in the great outdoors to protect and cherish this land.
• 20:55
  Naturalist John Muerr loved exploring the wilderness. He's called the
• 20:59
  father of our national parks for his conversation conservation work
• 21:04
  to protect wildlife areas. Muir was born in Scotland and
• 21:08
  his family immigrated to America in eighteen forty nine. Muhr
• 21:12
  hiked thousands of miles through forest, mountains, and deserts and
• 21:15
  rode about his adventures. He encouraged others to respect the
• 21:20
  outdoors and promoted wilderness preservation. He helped form the Sierra
• 21:25
  Club and became its first president. Mrr slipped under the
• 21:29
  stars in Yussimmee Valley in two thousand and five. California's
• 21:33
  new State Quarter featured John Muir with his beloved Yosemite
• 21:37
  National Park. This world heritage sites, gigantic trees, plunging waterfalls,
• 21:43
  and deep valley make it a spectacular camping area. Visitors
• 21:47
  high rock climbs scrambled to the top of Half Dome
• 21:50
  and explore the nearby backcountry. Climb the mountains and give
• 21:54
  their good tidings. A quote from Jean Mrror. Juliet Gordon
• 22:00
  Law was the founder of the Girl Scouts. She was
• 22:02
  born in Savannah, Georgia, and was called a Daisy. She
• 22:06
  married an Englishman and moved to England, where she met
• 22:09
  Sir Robert Baden Powell in nineteen eleven. He was the
• 22:12
  founder of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, and she
• 22:15
  admired his work. A year later she returned to the
• 22:18
  United States. Juliet wanted to do something special with her life.
• 22:23
  One day she made an important film, called to a
• 22:25
  friend and announced, I've got something for the girls of
• 22:28
  Savannah and all of America and all of the world,
• 22:31
  and we're going to start it tonight. On March twelfth,
• 22:34
  nineteen twelve, she gathered eighteen girls to create the first
• 22:38
  troop of American Girl Guides. Her niece was the first
• 22:41
  registered member. The group's name was changed to Girl Scouts
• 22:44
  the following year. Juett at Lall's home in Savannah is
• 22:49
  now National Center of Girl Scouts of the USA. Kay's
• 22:56
  for our kitchen doesn't have a door, no rufer walson
• 23:00
  round it, and a solid ground its floor. Campers prepare
• 23:04
  food in a kitchen, but it doesn't look like a
• 23:06
