Armchair Adventures: A Join-In Story Podcast for Kids

 Connie’s family are super good friends with a family that come from a country that isn't safe for them to live anymore. Connie is on a mission to make their house a home before they arrive, but she needs help...   “I need to know how to make a house a home and fast. Family friends are fleeing from a war-torn country and they need our help to settle in here. They sent their stuff by boat a week ago. And they are coming by plane today!” 🛬   The adventure takes Connie and the gang to an area near the home that is packed with ice cream parlours, community gardens, and a mini market. It’s perfect! But when they race around the corner to where the house is supposed to be, it's an empty plot with nothing there!!! Everybody joins in building, but when it's finished, Connie realises it's more than bricks and mortar and windows and doors and floors and roof that make a house a home.   What more could they need?
