This week, we are reading a story about a girl who moves from India to the United States. She is excited to try new things in her new country, but she also misses her old home, and sometimes she feels like she is stuck in between two places. How can she solve this problem? Listen to the story to find out!

In the story, Shanti feels "in between" her family and her new friends, in between The United States and India. Do you ever feel like you are "in between" two different groups of people or places? Which ones and why? Write or draw about how it feels and what it looks like for you.

Shanti, the main character of our story, is from a country called India in Asia. India is a large country with many different customs, cultures and more.
