Episode 6: Bloom Where You're Planted: The Effect of Place on Character
Charity Hill reads Katherine Leaño's essay "Bloom Where You're Planted" to frame an understanding of the effect of place on character. They propose that certain things give our children the roots to grow character: geographic specificity, cultivating gratitude, familial love, and doing together the work the place "demands." Katherine draws upon Abuela by Arthur Dorros, Pop Corn and Ma Goodness by Edna Mitchell Preston, All the Places to Love by Patricia MacLachlan, and We Have Been Harmonized by Kai Strittmatter.
