For this program, join us for stories written by American authors! Stories featured in this event include picture books such as A Chair for My Mother by Vera B. Williams (pictured here). We’ll also sing songs and practice rhymes.

Make sure to check out the American authors and illustrators A–Z summer reading challenge for Library members!

This program is entirely in English, and no translation will be provided. This participatory program is intended to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Children’s and Teens’ Services staff members will read books in English and lead you and your little one in songs and hand-rhymes during a live, interactive session. Plan to join in, sing along, 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. With your help, we hope to inspire children to become lifelong readers!
