Julie’s Library

Norman and the Nom Nom Factory

Before we get to today’s episode, we want to say to the families who are hurt and angry and scared right now: we’re with you.

We want to recommend a resource we’ve turned to: a list of children’s books to help families talk about racism, justice and equality with kids. Follow this link to view the list: <a class="default" href="https://bit.ly/36T7Wv0">https://bit.ly/36T7Wv0</a> * * * Norman is a big, fluffy alien. He lives alone on Planet Gerp and eats Nom Noms for every meal. Will an unexpected visitor convince him to try something new? Plus, a special message from chef Ann Kim.
