What’s in a name? A special meaning, a powerful history, and a beautiful story. All names are unique and your name was chosen J-U-S-T F-O-R Y-O-U. In Thao by Thao Lam and Alma and How She Got Her Name by Juana Martinez-Neal, we will follow characters in their journey to discover the importance of their names and the stories that their names tell. For this MOCAKIDS Storytime, please bring an item that shows off your name!
MOCAKIDS Storytime is free to the public. To join, simply register here! Please note that this workshop will be recorded via Zoom and available on Facebook Live for one week.
