The town beside the sea was abuzz with the news. The governor was
holding a grand banquet and everyone was invited-everyone! But no
one was as excited as Nasruddin. On the day of the celebration,
Nasruddin works hard in his vineyard picking and squishing grapes.
He planned to wear his special long red silk coat, but at the end
of the day it's too late for him to go home and change! When he
arrives at the banquet in his grape-juice-stained work clothes, he
looks different from what the townspeople were expecting. But
Nasruddin is a clever fellow-and he figures out a most delicious
way to teach the town a lesson about judging people for the way
they look. The colourful illustrations of Turkish-born artist Mert
Tugen complement Circle Round podcast host Rebecca Sheir's original
adaptation of this Middle Eastern folktale. Specially designed to
be read aloud and shared, the story is accompanied by questions and
prompts for conversation, along with creative storytelling
activities. The creators of the award-winning podcast Circle Round,
produced by WBUR radio (Boston's NPR station), bring their beloved
combination of folktales and storytelling activities to book form
in the first branded Circle Round book series. Podcast host,
Rebecca Sheir, has uncovered folktales from a broad range of
traditions, all exploring timeless values, such as kindness,
generosity, acceptance, and more.
The Great Ball Game, a classic folktale originating from the
Cherokee, Creek, Ojibway and Menominee people of North America, is
adapted for a contemporary audience by Rebecca Sheir, host of the
award-winning Circle Round podcast, and accompanied by the vibrant
illustrations of Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley, an Ojibwe
Woodland artist. A dispute between the animals and the birds over
who is best leads to a ball game challenge. When the game is
disrupted by the arrival of a tiny creature named Bat, who doesn't
seem to fit on either team, all the participants learn the value of
diversity and celebrating those who seem 'different.' The
accompanying activities and prompts encourage children to develop
their own storytelling skills.
In a village in the countryside lived a woman named Kamala who had
the most delicious honey you've ever tasted. She collected honey
from her hives to sell at the market, but business was slow, and
she and her father were struggling to get by. Kamala knew she had
to do something, so when she heard that the king's son was getting
married and all the villagers were invited to the party, she got an
idea. When Kamala's first plan doesn't exactly work out and seven
tricky thieves try to steal from her, she has to rely on her own
wits to outsmart them - and discovers a rather sweet reward. The
