A 2016 YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults FinalistNational Book Award winner M. T. Anderson delivers a brilliant and riveting account of the Siege of Leningrad and the role played by Russian composer Shostakovich and his Leningrad Symphony. In September 1941, Adolf Hitler's Wehrmacht surrounded Leningrad in what was to become one of the longest and most destructive sieges in Western history--almost three years of bombardment and starvation that culminated in the harsh winter of 1943-1944. More than a million citizens perished. Survivors recall corpses littering the frozen streets, their relatives having neither the means nor the strength to bury them. Residents burned books, furniture, and floorboards to keep warm; they ate family pets and--eventually--one another to stay alive. Trapped between the Nazi invading force and the Soviet government itself was composer Dmitri Shostakovich, who would write a symphony that roused, rallied, eulogized, and commemorated his fellow citizens--the Leningrad Symphony, which came to occupy a surprising place of prominence in the eventual Allied victory. This is the true story of a city under siege: the triumph of bravery and defiance in the face of terrifying odds. It is also a look at the power--and layered meaning--of music in beleaguered lives. Symphony for the City of the Dead is a masterwork thrillingly told and impeccably researched by National Book Award-winning author M. T. Anderson.

Great for adults who need full liquid diets!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don't really write very many reviews, but I am an adult with gastroparesis and these pouches are amazing!! I've been dealing with GP for over 15 years and I wish I'd known about these sooner. When I am in a bad flare, sometimes all I can keep down is liquids and baby food. These are so gentle on my stomach, and leave me feeling truly nourished, unlike so many of the mainstream baby foods that are clearly low quality meat or very sugar laden. I try to make my own soups and liquids from a Paleo mindset, but sometimes when you're really sick, you don't have the energy to even put something in the blender. These are amazing for those times and will be a staple in my arsenal from now on.

My daughter goes crazy for these!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I was really nervous about introducing meat to my daughter, but Serenity Kids pouches made it really easy!
She loves the turkey bolognese one, and I love that it's pasture-raised with organic ingredients! My 8 & 6 year old gave them a try and said they were super yummy! Highly recommend!!

Not just for kids. A great snack for long drives.
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our daughter buys these for her toddler (1-1/2 years old). I do a lot of long distance driving and thought that these would be a convenient way to have a snack or even a small meal. I have just spent six days behind the wheel on a road trip and they worked out great! A good mixture of protein (beef, turkey, chicken) and veggies, especially the combinations. They are easy and safe to use while driving, have good flavor, are more filling than I thought they would be, and are certainly healthier than the snacks that are usually available on the road.

One Satisfied Mom and Baby
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Early on when on the hunt for baby food, this was one of the few brands where not only can I pronounce all of its organic ingredients, but the proteins were all pasture raised, wild caught and grass fed. So the true test was the taste test, SHE LOVED IT! Ate the whole thing in a matter of minutes. I use these when I’m out or on the run and I love it because I know she’s getting adequate nutrition with the best ingredients.

Hear Me Out!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Okay, all moms, you've got to hear me out on this one!
The first time my kiddo tried this he hated the flavor! I mentioned it in my IG stories and the company themselves sent me tips and tricks on how to serve these meats.
The problem was, my baby had never had baby meat before, just fruits and veggies. Please understand that the thickness is a little thicker, but still creamy enough for even new eaters. We tried different recipes and ideas and now my son love them and gets his proteins.
I am SUPER impressed with this company and their willingness to help and offer advice and ideas. Their products are HIGH quality and made of only the best ingredients which makes this mama very happy!
