Warm or cold? Soft or hard? Could you eat it for supper? In Why Bread Turned Into Stone, a folktale from Poland, a hardworking mama of five meets the richest farmer in the village on a cold, hungry road… and his bag smells like fresh-baked bread. One tiny fib later, the farmer is about to learn that words can be a whole lot heavier than they sound. What happens when the thing you said starts to come true?

Story artists, grab your crayons! Today we travel to a village near the Bsea for a story about honesty, sharing, and a mama who stands tall no matter what. Kids will knead dough, make a big CLUNK! and draw along through four music-filled drawing breaks.

1. The mama and her five children in their little house, or the mama hard at work at the mill or the bakery
2. The rich farmer and his big, bulging sack, meeting the mama on the road
3. A loaf of bread that has turned to STONE (crust and all!)
4. A cozy, surprising supper scene (no spoilers!)
