In this episode, Ryan and Ray get some news, over ice cream.

The person reading the stories in this episode of The Podcast Where They Read Stories is Amena Brown: poet, author, storyteller, host, and so much more.. meaning that you might see her on stage, in a bookstore or library, or on podcasts or other shows. She's one of the coolest people we know.

Here in The Podcast Where They Read Stories, we're presenting the abridged version of "Ways to Make Sunshine." If you enjoy these selected chapters, we hope you'll find the full story wherever you check out, read, or listen to books.
