Good news for your next read: a familiar Star Wars movie might still have surprises waiting on the page. Ryan’s experience with one novelization gives you a reason to revisit a story you thought you knew.

Another unexpected discovery came much earlier in his radio career. Booking Eric Bauza meant calling the voice of Bugs Bunny directly. What could have been a quick arrangement became something Ryan still remembers, and the reason has little to do with getting a famous name on air.

Elsewhere, children look inside rocks and find something from a very different world. Five soldiers head toward Ottawa to help families facing hardship. What connects these moments is the invitation to pause long enough to notice what someone found, enjoyed or chose to give.
