[flute music] Hi, Rebecca Sheir here. If you're listening to this episode the week it comes out, then you might know that Eric Shimelonis and I are on the road as we bring Circle Round and the Circle Round books to Cleveland, Ohio, and Austin, Texas. We'll be back with the first of our live Cleveland episodes next week. In the meantime, enjoy this special encore edition of Circle Round, a fun and funny tale you may have missed the first time around. Think about a time you used teamwork. You did one part of a task, somebody else did the other, and by working together, by collaborating, you shared in your success. We're about to meet a team that works so well together, it's magic. [flute music] I'm Rebecca Sheir, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time. Today, our story is called The Laughing Canoe. It's inspired by tales told in Brazil, the largest country in South America and Latin America. [piano music] Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this folktale, including George Salazar from NBC's Superstore and the Broadway production of Be More Chill.
