00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome. This is your WBZ book Club. Jordan here,

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 1>very proud and happy to congratulate Ellie Burke, local teacher,

3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>actress and author who's written a book called Listen, Wonder Ask,

4
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 1>with illustrations by Luciano Navarro Powell. It's about a little girl, Nadine,

5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>who hears another little girl speaking to her doll in

6
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>an unfamiliar language. Nadine asks the girl from China if

7
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>she has a coming here story. She does, and the

8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>two children become friends. Later, Yan, the Chinese girl, asks

9
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>a woman who's singing in a different language about her

10
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>coming here story. Simona from Russia connects with Rafeed from Bangladesh,

11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and as you can probably guess, there's an intersection of

12
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>people from different parts of the world, with children and

13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>adults doing just what the title suggests. The Coming Here

14
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>story leads to the domino effect that allows people to

15
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>open up and share their backgrounds and learn what it

16
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 1>means to be friends. A children's book about making lasting connections.
