Is that a lion?

I think he's saying our fourth picture book, The Lion's Whiskour, hits shelves this spring.

And on Saturday, June 17th, we're throwing a party at WBUR's city space in Boston to celebrate

and you're invited.

Find more details and get your in-person or virtual tickets at WBUR.org slash circle

round.

Produced by the iLap at WBUR Boston.

Have you ever found something that somebody lost?

Alonely mitten on the street perhaps?

Or even a cat or dog?

When we find lost things, it feels great when we can return them to their rightful owner.

But what do you do when the owner is nowhere to be found?

The characters in today's story find a very creative solution.

I'm Rebecca Shear and welcome to Circle round.

Where story time happens all the time.

Today our story is called One Speckled Hen.

It comes from an old Jewish tale that dates back centuries.

Some really great people came together to bring you our version of this folktale, including

Andre De Shields.

Andre is a Broadway legend who won the 2019 Tony Award for his starring role in the smash

hit musical Hades Town, now playing at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York City.

So circle round everyone.
