Description

Join us for stories, play, games, and picnic treats! For children ages 3 through 8 years old and their caregivers. Please join members of the Nourishing Literacy team and our special guest, Thembi Palmer of Imagine More Story Adventures for a special, fantastical edition of Books & Cooks! All you need to bring is your curiosity and creativity! We will transform our kitchen classroom into a space for stories and forest-inspired tastes. Thembi will take us on an imagination-filled event as she reads aloud one of her favorite books, The Gruffalo! There will be opportunities to dress up in costume and for interactive play at points throughout our event. Along the way, Nourishing Literacy will provide some surprise snacks and treats as we all bring the story to life. This will be a great chance to meet new friends, to relax and rejoice in books, and to taste kid-friendly foods together. Please join us! ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Nourishing Literacy provides food, literacy, wellness, and life skills programming to children, youth, and intergenerational groups, as part of the Free Library of Philadelphia's Culinary Literacy Center.
