Fracture Fairy Tales with author Robin Newman (ages 8–12)

Sat May 23 @ 11 h 00 - 12 h 30

Create your own mixed-up version of a well-known fairy tale!

Join author Robin Newman for a reading of her book Who’s Writing This Story? and then talk about writing, revision, and crafting stories using fairy tales as a starting point. Participants in this workshop will begin crafting their own fractured fairy tales with guidance from Robin Newman.

This activity is entirely in English, and no translation will be provided. All participants must be able to understand and speak English in order to participate in the program. Caregivers and parents of young children are encouraged to participate in this event with their children. Children between the ages 8–12 may participate in this Library programs on their own, while their chaperone remains inside the Library.
