Show Notes

Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce that Simon and Schuster Publishing Company has given permission for this book to be read out loud and shared on Stories Come to Life until December 31, 2023. But of course, the episodes that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they’re available! 

Looking for treasures---and finding them---is something I’m always interested in! In this story, “With Bert and Ray,” William and his mother learn to price and then sell the contents of houses for estate sales. When Ma finds something she has a special feeling about, William pushes her to persevere and find out what it is really worth. But Ma has also learned how to keep good relations with Bert and Ray, who helped her start on her business. Sometimes it’s important to look like you’ve lost in order to win. 

Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.

Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life!
