You are listening to show 23 of the CLIP podcast which I would like to dedicate to my friends and colleagues in Hawaii especially those who are connected with Kamehameha Schools. Congratulations again on a favorable court decision regarding the John Doe lawsuit. Tonightacirc;euro;trade;s show focuses on a powerful text set on acts of kindness and social action submitted by Andrea Ross of Just One More Book, a wonderful podcast and resource on childrenacirc;euro;trade;s books. The idea for the show resulted from a comment by Andrea on a previous clip episode after which time I encouraged her to send me audio expanding on her thoughts. Iacirc;euro;trade;m so pleased she agreed to do the show and I know you will truly enjoy what she has to say as much as I have. I thought it was especially appropriate as we enter the holiday season. Jim Clohessy station ID Midtro Audio from Andrea Ross This is Andrea Ross, devoted CLIP listener and one of the children's book fanatics behind the Just One More Book!! Podcast. More often than not, Vivian's CLIP episodes leave me buzzing with ideas, inspiration and feeling a bit like I've fallen out in the middle of a lively, engaging conversation.

The story is accompanied by a description of the Heifer Organization: Instead of providing hungry families with a temporary source of food, Heifer International provides a "living loan" of an animal and training in animal care. Each family in turn passes these gifts to another family in need, creating a chain of hope that lifts entire communities. The second book on this goat-giving theme is "The Goat Lady", by Jane Bregoli. What an amazing book. What an amazing story. Filled with gorgeous grey/blue paintings and a striking example of the power of understanding, this book is too great a masterpiece to do justice here. The r...
