Storytime and Illustration Session
April 13, 2019
April is Earth Month!
Have you heard about the rainmaking bacteria? They live on plants and soil, windswept to the clouds where they make ice to create rain and snow. Without them, it wouldn’t rain or snow!
Come join us for a family-friendly time as we read the new children’s book called “I Wonder What it’s Like to Be a Raindrop” with the books author (Keith Bell) and illustrator (Brent Bludworth). Thereafter, we will create beautiful ‘raindrop sun catchers’ and may even incorporate the newly created raindrops in a family dance. This interactive and celebratory event is for all ages to attend.
