What was your little one’s first word? What was yours? Join us to explore the words of childhood through a close look at the artwork Untitled (O Small Small Head) by artist Jessica Diamond, and a read aloud of The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds. Following the story, young artists can play with words and make their own works of art!
