Going Bananas (an excerpt from A Book of Hugs)
Manage episode 313683659 series 3281449
Salaam Storytime is back and we wanted to know: what's your favorite fruit? Chances are, you have encountered a banana in your life. (Hint: We kind of hope you love bananas!)
In this delightful short story, you will learn a little bit about a lot of different things this versatile fruit can do. Read with permission and written by Evelyn Sue Wong, "Going Bananas" is one of the short stories in the collection of stories that created A Book of Hugs: Stories to Keep You Company. Closetful of Books published this book to support and empower children during the height of the pandemic. A year later, we are still grateful for the warmth and connection stories like this can bring to the world.
In honor of this global love, Evelyn's two granddaughters, Edith and Elly have decided to collaborate with Leena and her sisters, Nadeen and Ameena to bring together the best banana recipes of the world! We would like to invite you to participate in this challenge as well.
What is your favorite banana recipe - a smoothie, a snack, a dessert, or an entree? Please visit the link below to see how to share as we will be collaborating with Global Tiffins and Global Bookshelves International LLC to share whatever we come up with:
