Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. During this time of Covid, many people aren’t able to use the library in the same way as in the past. To help bring more stories to more readers, many publishing companies are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until June 30, 2022. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they’re available! Today’s story is shared with permission of Penguin Random House Publishing Company. 

James and his grandpa, Will Chubb, are taking their family’s heirloom melodeon to the newly built church in time for the Christmas morning service. But there is a huge blizzard blowing, and the night is very, very cold. Will and James stop at two farmhouses to warm up, and at the second one, Grandpa falls asleep. James has to continue on, this time with four troublesome girls to help him hoist the organ off the stoneboat and into the church. Can they do it?

To find out, sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
