ABC volunteer Milla Duca reads out loud two beloved children’s stories: Purplicious, written by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann, and Amelia Bedelia Sleeps Over, written by Herman Parish.

Purplicious

Purplicious is a story about individual identity. Pinkalicious loves the color pink - she wears pink clothes, eats pink ice cream, and sleeps in a pink bed. But the bullies at her school make fun of her for liking such a passé color - how will Pinkalicious navigate this challenge? Why is it important to remain true to yourself? Listen to the story to find out!

We recommend this story for children ages 4-8.

Amelia Bedelia Sleeps Over

Amelia Bedelia goes to her friend Rose’s house for her first slumber party! Listen along to learn what they did and how much fun they had. Hint: it involves s’mores!

We recommend this story for children ages 4-8.
