The Berkshire Athenaeum and Berkshire County Head Start will host acclaimed children’s author Carol Munro for a special Springtime Storks storytime on Saturday, May 9 at 10:30 am.
Based on a true story, Springtime Storks is an ode to the resilience, dedication, and love between two migratory birds, while also delivering an urgent message about conservation.
Following the storytime, kids will have the chance to create their own stork hand puppets and learn more about storks and their remarkable migration patterns!
This Mass Kids Lit Fest event is presented in partnership with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. For a full schedule, please visit https://www.makidslitfest.org/.
