## Resource

What kinds of stories are shaping your kids? Adam and Cassie sit down with The Green Ember author S. D. Smith to talk about why stories matter so much in the life of a family. Sam shares how telling stories to his own children eventually became The Green Ember, why boredom can be a gift to a child's imagination, and why the best stories don't have to protect kids from every scary or difficult thing.
