Storytime Studio: Community of Care
January 22, 2025 | 10:00 am–12:00 pm
Get your New Year’s fresh start with art! Join us all month long to explore and express yourself inspired by a different artwork each week. This week, we’ll look closely at Belief + Doubt by artist Barbara Kruger and use our own big words (and images and symbols!) to explore fairness, love, and our own power in making the world a better place.
Featured Book: Martin’s Big Words, by Doreen Rappaport
