For this Story Hour, we’ll read books all about Valentine’s Day and valentines. Each Story Hour program features short picture books such as The Wolf Who Wanted to Fall in Love by Orianne Lallemand, illustrated by Eleonore Thuillier, and translated to English by Mary Chris Bradley (pictured here), as well as songs and rhymes.

This Story Hour will be hosted by Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste Rhoads and Children’s and Teens’ Services Intern Amber Auer. They will read books and lead you and your little one in songs and hand-rhymes during a live, interactive session. This participatory program is intended to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Plan to join in, sing along, and move around, and model movement and listening for your little one. We ask that all caregivers put away their phones and other electronic devices for the duration of this program. This activity is entirely in English, and no translation will be provided.
