  • Welcome to Storyline Online,  

  • brought to you by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.  I'm Jennifer Garner and today I'm going to read

  • Maddi's Fridge written by Lois  Brandt and illustrated by Vin Vogel.

  • When Sofia and Maddie played at the parkthey stretched their toes to the sky.  

  • They climbed to the top of the ladder and  flew off the end of the slide.

  • They stayed until the buildings grew long shadows  and even the taxis stopped honking.

  • Let's play on the climbing wall,” Maddi said. “No way," Sofia said. “I can't reach.”

  • Yes way!” Maddi scooted up to  the top of the wall. “Your turn!”

  • Sofia put a foot on the bottom rock, grabbed with one hand

  • and stre-e-e-e-e-etched - but  she couldn't reach the next hold.

  • Sofia's stomach growled. “I  give up. Let's get a snack.”

  • "No way," Maddi said. "Let's stay here."

  • Yes way!” Sofia ran to Maddi's building

  • ...and raced up the stairs.

  • Wait!” Maddi ran after her.

  • Maddi was the best climber, but  Sofia was the fastest runner.

  • Sofia swung open the door of Madd's fridge.

  • What have you got?”

  • We have milk,” Maddi said.

  • “I'm saving it for Ryan. He's still little.”

  • Why doesn't your mom go  to the store?” Sofia asked.

  • We don't have enough money.”

  • But what if you get hungry?”

  • We have some bread,” Maddi said.

  • “I guess I'll go home to eat,” Sofia said.

  • Please don't tell anyone,” Maddi said.

  • Okay.”

  • Promise?”

  • “I promise.”

  • Sofia ran home past the  bookstore and grocery store.

  • The sun went down behind the buildings  and took all the colors with it.

  • Good timing,” Mom said. “Dinner's almost ready.”

  • Luis was wrestling on the floor with Pepito.  

  • Sofia opened the refrigerator  door. Pepito peeked inside.

  • Sofia's fridge was full of  milk and eggs and tortillas and  

  • cheese and lettuce and jam and salsa and  tofu and even half a can of dog food.

  • Here you go,” Mom said.

  • Sofia and Luis each had a plate of fish  and rice. Mom had a plate of fish and rice.  

  • Even Pepito had his bowl of dog food  (with a little bit of fish and rice).

  • Maddi and Ryan only had some  bread and a small carton of milk.

  • Sofia couldn't tell Mom. She had  to keep her promise to Maddi.

  • Not fish again,” Luis said.  “I want Cheesy Pizza Bombs.”

  • Cheesy Pizza Bombs are a treat,” Mom  said. “Fish is a good source of protein.”

  • Is fish good for kids?” Sofia asked.

  • Yes,” Mom smiled. “Fish is perfect for kids.”

  • That night, Sofia had an idea.

  • Yuck!” Maddi said the next day.

  • Oh!” Sofia said. “Double yuck.”

  • Fish may be good for kids, but  fish is not good for backpacks.

  • After school, Sofia and Maddi  raced to the climbing wall.

  • Sofia got there first, but Maddi  scrambled past her to the top of the wall.

  • Sofia stre-e-e-e-etched and stre-e-e-e-e-etched.

  • Keep trying,” Maddi said. “You'll get it.”

  • “I can't.” Sofia jumped down. “It's too high.”

  • That night, Sofia, Luis and Mom ate frittata.  

  • Pepito had his dog food (with  a little bit of frittata).

  • Maddi and Ryan still had an empty refrigerator.

  • Sofia couldn't ask for help. That would  break her promise. She had to try again.

  • Are eggs good for kids?” Sofia asked.

  • Not as good as Cheesy Pizza Bombs,” Luis said.

  • Cheesy Pizza Bombs are a treat,”  Mom said. “Eggs are good for you.”

  • After dinner, Sofia packed  eggs for Maddi and Ryan.

  • Yuck!” Maddi said.

  • Double yuck!” Sofia said.

  • Eggs may be good for kids, but  eggs are not good for backpacks.

  • Sofia and Maddi raced to the climbing wall.

  • Sofia won again, but Maddi shot  past her to the top of the wall.

  • Sofia grabbed one hold,  

  • re-e-e-e-eached for the next… ... and came down with a thump.

  • That happens sometimes,” Maddi called.

  • This is impossible,” Sofia said.

  • Keep trying,” Maddi said, “You'll get it.”

  • That night Sofia, Luis and Mom had burritos.

  • Pepito had his dog food (withlittle bit of burrito and no salsa).

  • Maddi and Ryan still had an empty fridge.

  • Sofia wished she hadn't promised Maddi.

  • Are burritos good for kids?” Sofia asked.

  • Burritos are very good for you,” Mom said.

  • Not as good as -” Luis started to say.

  • You should pay attention to  nutrition like your sister,” Mom said.

  • The next morning, Sofia put two burritos in  her backpack along with tortillas, beans,  

  • cheese and even some milk.

  • Um, no thanks,” Maddi said. “You havent even looked!” Sofia said

  • Is it fish?” Maddi asked. "No.” 

  • Is it eggs?” “No.” 

  • Is it gross?” “I don't know,” Sofia said.

  • Maddi shook the backpack. Something sloshed.

  • Let's look together,” Maddie said.

  • One, two, three - GO!”

  • Burritos are good for kids  and good for backpacks too.

  • Do you want some milk?” Sofia asked.

  • Thanks,” Maddi said, “but  I'll save the milk for Ryan.”

  • Sofia and Maddi raced to the climbing wall.

  • Sofia won as usual and tried to climb.

  • You can do it,” Maddi said. "Take my hand.”

  • Woo-hoo!  I made it to the top!” Sofia shouted.

  • We're the tallest kids in the park!” Maddi said.

  • Thanks for helping me, Maddi.  I couldn't do it alone.”

  • Maddi shrugged. “That's what friends are for.”

  • After they finished playing, Sofia walked  home past the bookstore and the grocery store.  

  • She thought and thought and thought.

  • Her own fridge was full of milk  and juice and chicken and yogurt  

  • and bread and carrots and  even a half a can of dog food.

  • Maddi's fridge only had two  tortillas and a cup of beans  

  • and a bit of cheese andlittle more milk than before.

  • Sofia didn't want to break her promisebut she couldn't help Maddi alone.

  • Sofia told.

  • She hoped Maddi wouldn't be mad.

  • “I'm glad you told me,” Mom said.  “Let's see what we can do together.”

  • They loaded grocery bags with milkflour, chicken, carrots, sugar, oil,  

  • and even frozen meat and vegetables.

  • Luis pulled his package of Cheesy Pizza Bombs  out of the freezer.

  • He thought and thought and thought some more.

  • Then he put his Cheesy Pizza Bombs in Maddi and Ryan's bag.

  • For a treat,” he said.

  • At Maddi's apartment, the moms  talked. Luis and Ryan played.

  • Sofia and Maddi ran to the park.

  • You broke your promise,” Maddi said.

  • “I'm sorry,” Sofia said. “Are you mad?”

  • “A promise is important,” Maddi said.

  • You're more important,” Sofia said.  “I wanted you to have milk too.”

  • Maddi smiled.

  • Are we still friends?” Sofia asked.

  • Always,” Maddi said.

  • Double always,” Sofia said.

  • Cheesy Pizza Bombs!” Luis yelled. “Our  moms made Cheesy Pizza Bombs - for a treat!”

  • Sofia and Maddi raced up the stairs. Sofia  slowed downso they could run together.

  • That's what friends are for.

  • Did you like Maddi's Fridge? I love this book  and I'm gonna tell you why: because there are  

  • so many wonderful programs out there  where you can put food into backpacks  

  • for children to take home from school  to help feed their families at night.  

  • And what feels better than knowing that you are  helping another kid just like you and just like  

  • your family because we all need a little help  sometimes. I love that Sofia is the one who  

  • needed help getting up the wall and that Maddi  just calmly and sweetly helped her friend.

  • Maddi is the one who needed a little bit of help having  extra food in the fridge, and Sofia was the friend  

  • who could help her out. We can always find ways  to help each other, that's why I love this book.
