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 I-Lab at WBUR Boston.

Have you ever felt small?

Maybe you weren't tall enough to go on a ride at the amusement park or you wanted to play

with the older kids but they said you were too little.

In today's story, we'll meet an animal who knows exactly how you feel and she sets out

to prove that sometimes the tiniest among us can be the most powerful of all.

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

Today our story is called Turtle Island.

It comes from the folklore of the Ojibwe group of the First Nations People of Canada.

We developed this episode with our Canadian friends at the Earth Rangers podcast and you'll

hear some of their voices including Lee Lawson, also known as Earth Ranger Emma.

You'll also hear Rye Chase, Rebecca Galarsa and Suzy McGrath, three voices from another

of our fellow kid casts The Punies by Kobe Bryant.

So Circle Round everyone, for Turtle Island.

Long, long ago, the great spirit known as Kitchie Manitou was watching over all the people

of the Earth.
