    There are lots of different reasons why a person might move to a new country. They might move for an awesome opportunity to do something cool in a new place. They might move to a new country to experience a new culture. If they live in a country which is unsafe, they might be a refugee and start a new life in a new country which is safer. That’s an important reason to move to a new country. Today’s episode celebrates friends from around the world who have moved to Australia and now call Australia home.   About the book: War ends, yet its dark shadow remains, a family is forced to flee their home. As they journey through hunger, long cold nights and homelessness, a heart locket whispers words of hope. And a country that's faraway calls for those that are no longer wanted. It offers new beginnings and a precious place, once more to call home.    This is the perfect story time resource for initiating conversations about refugees and multiculturalism in our country. Lots of people move to Australia every day for lots of different reasons. It’s important that we make them feel welcome and part of our big Australian family.   Guest Storyteller: Tamanna Kaul helps us share today’s story. Tamanna and her family moved from India to Australia when she was a child.

    Are you kidding me? | Story Surprise PodCast

    On this episode of Story Surprise, Anthony & Lauren remind kids NOT to judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, things are not what they seem, and everyone is unique and special in their own way! About the book: Owl, Mouse, Snail, Bird, Lion, Bee, Hippo, and Bat are tired of all these idioms. They are sick of people who still use silly phrases to define them. Are you kidding? This cheeky story uses rhyme, repetition, and rhetorical questions to send a powerful message to the world. Being true to yourself is more valuable to the world than the opinions of others. This is the perfect story time resource for teaching children not to judge a book by its cover. Drum roll please, on your knees…. It’s time for Story Surprise.

    Come Home Ella | Story Surprise

    Come Home Ella Today’s story is about premature babies.  About Come Home Ella: My baby sister couldn’t wait to see the world. That’s why she came so early. She probably didn’t realise she would be stuck inside the hospital. She probably didn’t know that I wouldn’t be allowed to see her. Come Home Ella light heartedly follows the journey of a family after their baby’s early arrival. Told through the eyes of Baby Ella’s older sibling, it aims to educate children about premature babies and help families experiencing similar situations deal with the emotions involved.  This is the perfect story time resource for initiating conversations about babies, siblings, and family with your kids! One in ten babies are born premature. Today’s podcast is dedicated to children who were premature babies, or the sibling of a premature baby. Welcoming a premmie baby into the world is a life changing experience for a family. We hope that by sharing this story children will feel less alone.
