Saturday Storytime: We Love Our Grandparents

Celebrate National Grandparents Day at McNally Robinson the way one of our most famous Grandmas would have wanted. Grandma Moses said, “If I didn’t start painting, I would have raised chickens.” We’re going to read stories about great art and great chickens — cluck a little, paint a little, cluck a little, paint a little. After Storytime, kids will be inspired to create their own artistic Grandparents Day Cards. Hosted by Yvonne Brooks, co-author of Meet the Goat Kids and The Goat Kids Explore the Woods. Ages 2 to 7. Art materials provided.

Bounce, a Children's Book

Bounce a ball right off your hands. Bounce it off your toes. Try to bounce a beach ball on the tip of your nose!

Because, after all, it's better to have bounced and bumped than never to have bounced at all.
