  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Radio Eye's Children's Story Hour. As
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a reminder, Radio Eye is a reading service intended for
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: people who are blind or have other disabilities that make
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it difficult to read printed material. Today we will be
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: reading from several children's books. Your reader today is Patty.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: We're going to be reading about one of the seasons
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of the year, and that is one called Fall. Some
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: people call it autumn. The first book we're going to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: read is called When Fall Comes, Connecting with Nature as
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the Days Grow Shorter. It's written by Amy M. Bissonnette,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: illustrated by Aaron Corrigan, and published by Little Bigfoot, an
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: imprint of Sasquatch Books, in the year 2023. from the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: inside front cover. In the fall months, silver red salmon
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: fight their way up rushing streams, returning to the places
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: they were born. Mud flats fill with feeding shorebirds migrating
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: for the winter, and larch and aspen trees change from
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: green to gold. When fall comes, celebrates exploring nature during
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the season. When the days grow shorter, the air grows crisper,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and wildlife prepares for the winter months ahead. So from
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the very first page, we see that this book is
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: going to be about a family of four people and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: their dog who travels with them. And they're going to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be traveling together. around different parts of the country. When
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: fall comes, a great gaggles of Canadian geese honk and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: flap overhead, and the aspen leaves change from green to gold.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Chilly air and shorter days remind us it's time to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: get busy. Change is coming. And there is so much
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to do, not just for us, but for the animals, too.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Now we see the picture of this family of four
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: people and their little gray dog. They've arrived at a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: cabin in the woods. And in the woods, you can
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: see the golds and yellows of the aspen trees. In
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the fall, everyone is on the move. Summer crowds are
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: gone from the trails. The mud flats are filled with
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: feeding shorebirds, some on their way south and some flying
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in for the winter. Silver red salmon fight their way up,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: rushing streams, returning to the places they were born. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: illustration here shows a rushing stream of water, and many salmon.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Some are greenish-red and some are silver-red, swimming upstream. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: there on the side of the stream is a family
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of hungry bear looking at those salmon. In the fall,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: we forage. We search the woods for mushrooms after it rains, reishi, matsukete,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and cauliflower. Our woodland friends stock up on favorite foods too.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Chipmunks stash seeds in underground burrows. Red squirrels gather pine cones.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Busy beavers dive deep, dragging woody branches to underwater piles
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: near their lodges. The illustration here shows all these animals
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the chipmunk going into an underground burrow with seeds and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: nuts in his little mouth, a red squirrel trying to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: climb a tree with a big pine cone, and under
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the water, beaver piling sticks near its lodge. In the fall,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we get our house ready for cold weather. We put
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: away patio furniture and stack wood near the back door.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for nights when the wind whistles. Birds and animals ready
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: their homes too. Badgers dig new dens. Chickadees line the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: tree hollows with soft moss and rabbit fur. Lumbering black
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: bears search for fallen trees whose upturned roots form perfect
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: bear-sized spots. to sleep away the winter. The illustration here
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: shows all these animals preparing for the winter. Badger is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: digging a hole, and the bears are lumbering through the forest,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and there is a chickadee putting moss, fur, and leaves
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: into the hollow of a tree. In the fall, we
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: trade our flip-flops For thick socks and boots, we pull
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: on sweatshirts and jackets and stash gloves in our pockets
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just in case. Our woodland friends change their outerwear too.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Ruffed grouse grow an extra set of downy feathers. The
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: fur on long-tailed weasels and jackrabbits turns white. White-tailed deer
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: grow darker coats to blend in with the leafless trees.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: When fall comes, we hit the trail on sunny days
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to hike among bright yellow larches. We splash in puddles
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: filled by heavy fall rains. The illustration here shows the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: family of four hiking along a trail. and their little
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: gray dog is with them too. Two of the people
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: have hiking poles or sticks that help them grip the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: ground as they march and hike along a path. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: there in the background is a mountain and pine trees
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that are green, but yellow trees that are larch trees.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: We listen for fall sounds. Elk bugling on hillsides. squirrels
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: rummaging for acorns in the crunchy fallen leaves. We collect
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: driftwood on the beach and breathe in the salty air.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Out in the deep sea, we know gray whales are
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: swimming south to warmer waters. Even they are on the move.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Even they know change is coming. We smile. The illustration
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: here shows the family of four now sitting on a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: sandy beach. They've built a little campfire that they're gathered around,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and there beside them is their little gray dog. Out
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in the ocean, you can see the tail of the whales,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: as they're gray whales, as they're jumping in and around
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the water of the ocean. Because it is time to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: get ready, there is so much to do, not just
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: for us, but for the animals too, when fall comes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And now I want to read a second book. The
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: title of this book is called Hooray for Fall. The
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: author of the book is Kazuo Iwamura. It's published by
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: NorthSouth Books, And the English translation of this book was
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: copyright 2009. The original copyright date in Japan was 1984.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: About the author, Kazuo Iwamura. He was born in Tokyo
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in 1939. He is one of the most famous picture
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: book artists in Japan. His work has won many awards.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: He lives in Tojigi, where he founded the Museum for
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Picture Book Illustrations. It stands on a hill named Ihan
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: no Oka, which means Picture Book Hill. So now we'll
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: read this book called Hooray for Fall. It is a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: book about a squirrel family. Deep in the woods, summer
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: was over. Mick, Mac, and Molly were going with Papa
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to collect nuts. When they came home, their baskets were full. Look, Mama,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: said Mick, we found something. so many nuts. Mama has
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: been busy, too. What are you knitting? asked Mac. It's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a secret, said Mama. You'll have to wait and see
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when I have finished. And now the beautiful illustration here
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: shows the three young squirrels, Mick, Mac, and Molly. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of course, they're wearing clothes. And Papa, he's wearing clothes
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: as well and has eyeglasses on. And Mama, she's sitting
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: on a stool around their round wooden table in their
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: cozy squirrel den. And she's knitting something with red yarn.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: That night, little squirrels were tired out. They fell asleep
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: soon as they went to bed. It's beginning to get
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: cold already, said Papa. Winter is coming, said Mama. I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: must hurry. And she knitted late into the night. The
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: next morning, Mama called her children. I finished them last night,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: she said. Now try on these sweaters. What great sweaters,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: said Mick. Don't we look nice in the same sweaters,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: said Molly. I'm stuck, Mack squeaked, and everyone laughed. The
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: illustration here shows the three young squirrels putting on their
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: brand new red sweaters that their mother has knit for them.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Molly has hers on just fine, and Mick has his on, too.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: But Mac is having trouble finding the arms in his sweater,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and he seems to have his head stuck. When they
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: all had on their sweaters, they went outside into the woods.' Hello, birds,'
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: said Mick.' Look at our handsome sweaters!' Aren't they beautiful,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: said Molly? They match. Our mama knitted them for us,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: said Mac. Soon it will be cold, but you will
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: be really warm this winter, said the mama bird. We
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: are flying south to a warm place, chirped the bird children.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: See you next year. The illustration here shows the three birds.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: young squirrels with their beautiful red sweaters standing on the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: limb of a tree. And the three little birds are
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: sitting on the branch of a tree, talking back to them.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Look at the mushrooms, shouted Mick. They have red sweaters
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: just like us, said Molly. And they are just like
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: our family, too, said Mack, a mama and a papa
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and three children. The three little squirrels are looking at
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a patch of mushrooms. There are two large mushrooms with
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a red top and three little mushrooms underneath. And they
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: also have red tops. And that's why the squirrels think
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: they look just like them. I found some red berries,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: cried Mac. Really red berries. The last time we were here,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: They were green, weren't they? asked Mick. Winter is coming,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: so they change their clothes just like us, said Molly.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: They are as red as our sweaters, shouted Mac. Here
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the three little squirrels in their red sweaters are looking
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: at the red berries on the bush. Even the leaves
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: are red, said Molly. Does everything change color because cold
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: winter is coming? said Mac. That's it, said Mac. Everything
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: turns red, just like us in our sweaters. A little
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: further on, a bear was eating red persimmons. How can
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you eat so many? asked Molly. Don't you get a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: tummy ache? She was worried. Oh no, said the bear.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I need to eat a lot. Bears sleep during the winter,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: so I have to eat plenty now. The illustration here
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: shows those three little squirrels, Mick, Mac, and Molly, standing
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on the branch of a tree, and down below is
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the bear, and he has those persimmons in his hands,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and his mouth is also full of persimmon. Oh dear,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: cried Molly, look over there. The sky is on fire,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Mac shouted. And sure enough, up in the sky was
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: a great red glow. Let's climb up to the treetop
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and see what it is. Mick, Mac, and Molly climbed
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to the top of the tree. And the illustration here
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: shows them looking out at a beautiful red sunset. It
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't a fire in the forest. It was just a beautiful, red,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: glowing sunset. That night, the little squirrels couldn't wait to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: tell Mama and Papa about their day. The berries are red,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: said Mac, just like our sweaters. The leaves are red,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: said Molly, just like our sweaters. Even the sky is red,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: said Mick. just like our sweaters. That's because winter is coming,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: said Mama. That's because it's fall, said Papa. Hooray for fall,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: said Mick and Mac and Molly. Late that night, after
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the children had gone to bed, Papa and Mama sat
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: by the stove. What are you knitting now? Papa asked Mama.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Something for you, my dear. said Mama, a red scarf.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And all winter long, no matter how cold it got,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the squirrel family kept warm in their red sweaters and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Papa's red scarf. And now let's read from a book
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: called Little Homesteader, A Fall Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: This book was published in 2022 by Quarto Publishing. The
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: author is Angela Ferraro Fanning. And illustrations and Elise Draws.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Fall on the Homestead. Fall is a very
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: exciting season because it is harvest time. After all of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: our planning work, planting, growing, and tending, we can finally
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: pick so many of the fruits and vegetables that we
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: have been growing since spring. This season, the animals scurry about,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: readying for winter, and so do we. Our baskets are
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: filled with pumpkins and gourds, wild mushrooms are foraged, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: apples and pears are plucked from the trees. Seeds are
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: saved for spring and herbs are gathered and dried. It's
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a perfect time for craft projects and home baking. And
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: there are many fun ways to make the most of
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: nature's gifts during this season. Turn the pages and see
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: how you can join in. We love fall. The days
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: are warm and filled with golden sunlight and the leaves
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: on the trees are bursting with color. The nights are
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: becoming chilly and birds and wildlife are busy gathering nuts
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and seeds to store before the cold ahead. There is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: much to see, enjoy, and explore. As daylight shortens, the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: leaves change colors. Pumpkins can be picked and roasted. Homegrown
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: apples are ripe for picking. Fallen leaves are waiting to
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: be jumped in. Squirrels are busy gathering nuts for winter.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Sunflower seeds are ready to harvest. Popcorn cobs are ready
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for picking and drying. The animals enjoy the cooler weather.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: There's a large two-page illustration here That shows all these things.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Squirrels busy gathering nuts. And sunflowers leaning over. And the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: seeds just ready to be picked. Acorns on the ground.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: A young girl jumping into a pile of leaves. Pumpkins
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: ready to be harvested. Fall crops. Apples and pears. Have
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you ever tasted an apple or pear? picked fresh from
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the tree? The trees blossom in the spring, and if
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: bees find the flowers, they produce fruit that begins as
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: small as a marble. All spring and summer long, they
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: slowly grow, Come the fall, these colorful, nutritious fruits are
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: finally ready for picking and savoring. Apple and pear trees
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: have special relationship with honeybees. The tree needs the bees'
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: help in pollinating their flowers. The transfer of pollen by
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the honeybee from one blossom to another is how fruit
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: begins to grow. But the bees also need the pollen
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and nectar from the tree. They take this tasty pollen
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and nectar back to their hive and save it as
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: food in their comb. The nectar is shared by the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: bees and made into honey. Honey created from apple or
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: pear blossoms is very light in color and has a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: sweet and floral flavor. The illustration here shows lots of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: bees and lots of apple and pear blossoms. It also
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: shows the honeycomb where the bees have returned. The next
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: page shows us a recipe for cinnamon applesauce. Homemade applesauce
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: is an easy to make, healthy treat that's full of goodness.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It's also a great way to use up any bruised
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: or misshapen apples so nothing goes to waste. Be sure
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to ask a grown-up for help when it comes to chopping, peeling,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and cooking on the stovetop. This recipe makes enough sauce
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to fill about five jam jars. You will need 12
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: peeled apples, 4 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and an eighth of a teaspoon of ground cloves. Number one,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: slice the peeled apples and cut them into roughly one
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: inch chunks. Place the apple chunks, water, and the spices
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: into a large pot over a medium-high heat and bring
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to a gentle simmer, stirring often. Once the apples become
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: nice and soft, After at least 20 minutes, turn off
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the heat and use a masher to make a puree.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Be careful not to splash the hot mixture. You can
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: also use a blender or a smoother sauce. Then carefully
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: pour the applesauce into clean jars and leave to cool.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. And
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: here's a tip. For an extra vitamin boost, leave the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: scans on the apples. Soft apple varieties like Golden Delicious, Macintosh,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and Fuji are best for this recipe because they break
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: down easily. The illustrations here show all these things that
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you will need to have in order to make this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: wonderful applesauce. It shows the chopped up apples, the pot
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that's on the eye of the stove, masher, ready to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: mash the softened apples after they've been cooked, and then
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a ladle as you're pouring the applesauce into the jars.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Now there's a page called Apple and Pear Varieties. Do
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you have a favorite kind of apple or pear? These
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: fall-time fruits are Grow in all different colors and shapes.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: They can be sweet, tart, soft, crisp. Some are perfect
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: for baking and cooking, while others are just right for
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: eating fresh. Red Delicious. This apple has a thick skin,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: which makes it excellent for storing. Granny Smith. These bright
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: green apples are sour and juicy. Great for baking. Bartlett.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Ripe Bartlett pears have a buttery smooth texture with sweet flavor. Honeycrisp.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: A yellow and red striped apple with a green blush
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: around the stem. This apple is balances both tart and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: sweet flavors. Asian pears are round and can be difficult
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to grow. They taste like butterscotch and cinnamon. Red and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Jew pears have a lovely bright red color and are
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: full of delicious juice. The bright tasting apple called an
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: empire apple has a fresh and crispy texture, perfect for
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: fresh eating. And down below, there's a tip. It says,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: when choosing apples for storage, choose varieties with thick skin.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Tart apples store longer than sweet apples, too. And now
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I'll read you the recipe for apple chips. When stored
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: at a cool temperature, apples can stay fresh for months.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But these crispy dried apple chips are a super fun
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: way to make apples last, as long as you don't
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: eat them all at once. For safety, make sure to
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: ask a grown-up for help. You will need apples, as
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: many as you like. Number one, wash and dry the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: apples and then cut each one into four large sections.
• 26:12

  Speaker 1: sure the slices don't overlap. Number three. Dehydrate the apples

  Speaker 1: placed in an airtight container. And then there's the little
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: tip about sprinkling with ground cinnamon or vanilla bean sugar
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: before you dry them. This is all the time we
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: have for today, but we'll come back to this book
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: at another time. This now concludes the children's story hour
