About this Event
On May 11th from 9-10am, join us in making colorful masks of rain forest animals, including tropical birds, monkeys, jaguars, and frogs! We'll color the masks with markers or crayons, cut them out, then add elastic so that we can wear them and act out our favorite rain forest animal!
This event will feature children's author Laura Resau, whose most recent book, Stand as Tall as the Trees: How an Amazonian Community Protected the Rain Forest (co-authored with Patricia Gualinga) tells an inspiring true story about how an activist in the Amazon worked with other Indigenous communities to protect and preserve their sacred lands and forests.
