Tailored your community’s values, this workshop series bring beloved children’s books to life through taste and craft. Each workshop includes a read-aloud story time accompanied by a tasty treat. Children then engage in a thoughtfully guided conversation based on the book’s central message. Finally, we complete a craft so that everyone takes a piece of the story, and its lesson, home with them.
