EXTRA **** Pickin' Peas by Margaret Read MacDonald

In the full, hour-long episode of The Apple Seed that we posted today (the episode is called "Keep a-Goin'," and you can find it right next to this Extra pretty much wherever it's listed: at byuradio.org/appleseed, or wherever you get your favorite podcasts), you heard a story from Jeri Burns and her son, about how mother and son had their challenges, but in the end are pretty much "Two Peas in a Pod." That story got us thinking about peas, which got us thinking about this story, called "Pickin' Peas" and told by the celebrated storyteller, folklorist, and children's librarian Margaret Read MacDonald. We hope you enjoy "Pickin' Peas" as today's Apple Seed Extra.
