Experience the heart of the Whole Book Approach with our interactive Storytime sessions! Created by Megan Dowd Lambert, this model invites children to react to the entire book as a visual art form, providing a natural and enriching experience. Led by an early childhood educator, our sessions facilitate a unique shared reading experience where children explore the design and production elements of picture books at their own pace and with their perceptions. Join us for a captivating journey into the world of storytelling! This is a drop-off class.
