Storybook Plan

Storybook: Tales of the African Mother

Leave comments here: Comment wall

Outline/Bibliography:
Story 1: Beginning the Unnatural Mother story (from Fairy Tales from South Africa by Bourhill, Drake and Holloway)
Story 2: The elephant - still embarrassed about the trap the elephant and hippopotamus fell into; no self confidence to help the Unnatural Mother

Story 3: The leopard - Tasks Done for a Wife (Robert Hamill Nassau, 1914) - connects to Tug-of-War; leopard remembers the story of his cousin
Story 4: The rabbit - Rabbit and the Animal Wizard (from Animal Fables from the Dark Continent by Stafford) - helps the Unnatural Mother to gain/use his sense
Story 5: Ending the Unnatural Mother story

Style: I am using the Unnatural Mother story as the overarching story, so I won't need a storyteller. I want the animal stories to connect into why or why not they agree to helping the Unnatural Mother. I haven't decided whether or not I want to have a giraffe story between the elephant and leopard story. I sometimes struggle with descriptions, and for the storybook, I want to focus more on describing characters, feelings and settings to make the stories more engaging.

Although I do not have a cat, my roommate does, and I'm already obsessed with him and his little socks. His name is Boomer, and sometimes I accidentally call him Sooner. My major is Health, Medicine, and Society. It is multidisciplinary, which I appreciate because I like learning from different perspectives, and is geared towards pre-Medicine students. I have already completed all of the pre-Med prerequisites, but I'm still not exactly sure if I want to go to medical school. I recently learned more about the field of Public Health and have become interested in possibly pursuing a career in that instead. Health has become my passion, especially learning more about the social aspects of health, how various identities affect health experiences, and the reasons behind and consequences of health...

Week 14 Story: Bedtime Stories of Bala Lake

Brenin walked up the stairs to their kid's bedroom, thinking about their long day at work. Two people had asked them about their pronouns and identity today; it was emotionally draining. Sometimes Brenin wished their coworkers and friends would do some of that educational work without relying on them. Before starting at their new job, Brenin's goal was to foster an inclusive work environment; first by encouraging people to say their pronouns when introducing themselves. There was more push back about this than they had imagined. They pushed those thoughts to the back of their head as they knocked on Alun's door, smiling at their child pushing books and toys back onto the shelf.  "Za! Can you tell me one of your bedtime stories tonight? I already put up all of the books!"  Brenin shook their head, wondering for the 100th time how Alun's nickname for them became a shortened version of pizza.  "Sure, kiddo. Hop up and lay down. I'll tell ...
