Artful Story Time: For the Birds

Story time with an artful twist! Come look, listen, and move as we make connections with original works of art and children’s books. Rotating featured readers means there’s always a new perspective to enjoy.

This session led by Erin Hanehan celebrates the intersection of art, mindfulness, stories, and movement. Look closely as we explore the birds in John James Audubon’s Birds of America folios. Come dressed ready to flap, squawk, and soar!

Best for children ages 18 months to 4 years and their adult caregivers.
