Hi, Rebecca Shear here. With the winter holidays upon us, the Circle Round team is taking

time off to celebrate and to gear up for a bunch of live events in the new year, including

new episode recordings in Los Angeles on January 18th,

Boston on February 7th, and Cleveland on March 14th.

Get your tickets at WbUR.org.org slash Circle Round.

And now, enjoy this favorite story from the Circle Round archives.

We'll be back with a new episode soon.

Have you ever faced a challenge

that felt pretty near impossible,

yet you refused to give up?

We're about to meet a character

who knows how you feel.

And when he refuses to give up, the results are dazzling.

I'm Rebecca Shear, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Today, our story is called Finding the Light. It's inspired by traditional tales

told among Alaska natives in the United States and First Nations communities in Canada.

Some really great people came together to bring you our folk tale, including Kennedy Kanagawa,

currently starring as Milky White in the hit Broadway revival of Into the Woods

at the St. James Theater. So circle around, everyone, for finding the light.
