Stories That Shape Us is a joyful family literacy series designed for children from birth through age 8 and the adults who care for them. Families will explore culturally affirming books, participate in engaging literacy activities, receive take-home learning resources, and discover meaningful ways to support early learning and school readiness.
Each gathering offers a welcoming space for families to read, play, learn, and celebrate the stories that shape our identities, communities, and futures. Families may attend one event or join us for the entire series.
Children and their families will enjoy culturally affirming books, interactive literacy activities, and opportunities to explore how stories strengthen identity, imagination, and family connections. Participating families will also receive take-home literacy resources to continue learning together.
This free, family-centered experience is designed for children from birth through age 8 and the adults who care for them.
Registration is encouraged.
