  The sounds downstairs are funky 
  and we start to wiggle toes. 
  We flip-flop and we giggle 
  with sheets up to the nose. 
  The rhythm’s steady,  
  the trumpet’s sweet. 
  Before too long,  
  we’re on our feet! 
   
  After hearing Daddy’s band practicing in the basement, a brother and sister can’t resist sneaking out of bed to watch them play. Careful, careful, can’t be caught.  
   
  Tiptoe past the squeaky spot! They long to join in the fun, but can’t be seen out of bed—until the discovery of a surprise band member turns the jam session into a family affair. 
   
  With an energetic, lyrical text from Kelly J. Baptist, The Band in Our Basement will have readers feeling the beat—right before settling back down for bedtime.

  The Machine Stops - When...

  E. M. Forster

  In The Machine Stops, humanity lives underground in isolated cells, sustained entirely by an immense technological system known simply as the Machine. Every comfort is provided at the touch of a button—food, music, communication, even ideas—while direct human contact and the natural world are considered dangerous relics of the past. 
  When Kuno, a restless thinker, begins to question this existence, he challenges not only society’s values but the faith placed in the Machine itself. E. M. Forster’s prophetic tale explores dependency, conformity, and the quiet erosion of humanity beneath convenience, offering a remarkably foresighted vision of a world governed by systems rather than people. 
  E. M. Forster is best known for novels such as A Passage to India and Howards End, but his speculative fiction reveals an equally sharp insight into social and philosophical change. Written in 1909, The Machine Stops anticipates modern concerns about technology, isolation, and the loss of human connection with uncanny clarity. 
  Forster’s work consistently examines the tension between inner life and external systems, emphasizing empathy, physical presence, and moral responsibility. This story remains one of the most influential early works of classic science fiction, frequently cited for its enduring relevance in the digital age.
