Speaker 1: Hello and welcome. This is your WBZ book Club. Jordan here,
Speaker 1: very proud and happy to congratulate Ellie Burke, local teacher,
Speaker 1: actress and author who's written a book called Listen, Wonder Ask,
Speaker 1: with illustrations by Luciano Navarro Powell. It's about a little girl, Nadine,
Speaker 1: who hears another little girl speaking to her doll in
Speaker 1: an unfamiliar language. Nadine asks the girl from China if
Speaker 1: she has a coming here story. She does, and the
Speaker 1: two children become friends. Later, Yan, the Chinese girl, asks
Speaker 1: a woman who's singing in a different language about her
Speaker 1: coming here story. Simona from Russia connects with Rafeed from Bangladesh,
Speaker 1: and as you can probably guess, there's an intersection of
Speaker 1: people from different parts of the world, with children and
Speaker 1: adults doing just what the title suggests. The Coming Here
Speaker 1: story leads to the domino effect that allows people to
Speaker 1: open up and share their backgrounds and learn what it
Speaker 1: means to be friends. A children's book about making lasting connections.
