Circle Round picture books coming in July!
Coming this July, Circle Round is launching its first two illustrated books, "The Tale of the Unwelcome Guest" and "A Taste of Honey." Join us for a book launch event at WBUR CitySpace on July 9!
Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round adapts carefully-selected folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 4 to 10. Each 10- to 20-minute episode explores important issues like kindness, persistence and generosity. And each episode ends with an activity that inspires a deeper conversation between children and grown-ups.
