About this Event
Schedule of Activities: (register here for either or both!)
- 1pm Fall Cookie Decorating
- 2pm Storytime with the Boogie Down Books team
Boogie Down Storytime is a family-friendly experience that cultivates early literacy awareness through joyful reading experiences. Each storytime is led by our Storytime Manager Wesley Sanders, generally lasts about 45-60 minutes, and includes:
- Interactive read-aloud by an author, illustrator, or educator
- Q&A so young readers can engage directly with the reader
- Routines like mindful breathing that build social-emotional skills
- Welcome shoutouts to honor each individual child in our community
- Movement inspired by the book, led by Bronx yoga teacher Jazy Cintron
Reserve your family's spot now to guarantee a space! Your registration is good for either or both activities: fall cookie decorating and/or storytime!

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Crisp air and gray skies beckon a little girl to thoroughly investigate the outside world: chipmunks, squirrels, insects, and fallen leaves all hint that a change of season is coming. Young readers can explore the signs of autumn along with the adventurous child narrator in this charming conclusion to Wong Herbert Yee's series on the seasons (Tracks in the Snow, Who Likes Rain? and Summer Days and Nights).
