Have you ever felt… small?

Maybe you weren’t tall enough to go on a ride at the amusement park. Or you wanted to play with the older kids, but they said you were too little.

In this story, we’ll meet an animal who knows exactly how you feel! And she sets out to prove that sometimes, the tiniest among us can be the most powerful of all!

Today our story is called “Turtle Island.” It comes from the folklore of the Ojibwe/Ojibwa group, of the First Nations people of Canada.

Earth Ranger Emma, along with some of her Earth Ranger friends had the chance to participate on this episode of Circle Round - an amazing podcast that tells folk stories from around the world, adapted for todays families.
