Little Radicals Story Time

About

A children and parent event centered around reading and helping our global village from a human-to-human perspective! ABOUT THE EVENTThrough reading books to fresh eyes, this Story Time event focuses on nurturing the innate liberatory beings that we are all born as: Little Radicals. Each month, we will focus on a theme and curate a collection of books, activities, and discussions for children and their parents to further their education and awareness of the world around them. April is all about Earth Day and National Arab Americal Heritage!
