Malik and Mrs. Bodolio
from Malik and his family Hosted by Judy Juanita
Malik is a third-grader in Oakland, California, who has told his mother he's afraid of his teacher. His mother listens to his fears, that the teacher is from Chicago and that he heard gangsters are from Chicago. His mother patiently helps him understand that he has assumed something that may not be true. He heard about gangsters from Chicago, he tells her, on his older brother Damien's TV. He is also afraid of his teacher because she has excessive hair above her lip (a mustache). His mother helps him understand that his imagination is working overtime. She teaches him that he can use all these feelings and create a story, something called fiction.
