Stork Storytime at the Milne! |
|
Join the Milne Public Library on Saturday, May 10th for a story time with Carol Joy Munro, who will read from her debut picture book, Springtime Storks.
Based on a true story, Springtime Storks is an ode to the resilience, dedication, and love between two migratory birds, while also delivering an urgent message of conservation.
Following the story time, kids will make their own stork hand puppets and learn more about storks and their migration patterns. This Mass Kids Lit Fest event is presented in partnership with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. |

Stop in, or view our new Thingdom launch page to see what's available. |
