They called it too wild. We call it essential.
Join us for a special Banned Books Week Story Hour led by a drag queen, bringing Maurice Sendak’s classic Where the Wild Things Are to life in full color, costume, and imagination.
πŸ“– The Story:
Once banned for being β€œtoo dark” and β€œtoo wild,” this beloved tale of Max and the Wild Things reminds us that every child’s imagination deserves space to run free.
πŸŽ‰ After the Reading:
Kids will craft their own Wild Crowns, then join our storyteller to β€œlet the wild rumpus start!” with a joyful parade through the store.
This event is free, family-friendly, and open to readers of all ages. Because no story should ever be silenced, especially the ones that help us feel most alive.
Books will be available for purchase during event.
