Virtual Summertime Storytelling

Pueblo Grande Museum’s FREE Virtual Summertime Storytelling Series is back! Join children’s authors as they share their books virtually on Pueblo Grande Museum’s YouTube channel every Saturday starting June 5 through July 3. www.youtube.com/channel/UC3IzGAKtuf6QCso2Fw13wUA

Each week features a different book and craft to go along with it. This year’s storytelling series begins with two fun and creative favorites from last season – Debi Novotny’ s What Do You Do When the Couch Eats Your Shoe and Dianne White’s Green on Green. The three remaining weeks feature heartwarming stories highlighting Native American traditions by Violet Duncan – Let’s Hoop Dance, When We Dance, and I am Native.

Fun craft kits celebrating each story can be purchased for $5 each online via Activenet (https://apm.activecommunities.com/phoenix/Home) beginning May 10. Kit orders will be available for curbside pickup Monday – Saturday, 9 am – 4 pm, beginning the week prior to the scheduled date of the virtual storytelling. Access to all storytelling videos ends August 31.
