We’re excited to invite you and your family to a Book Night under the stars. Join us on Zoom where we will be reading, All Kinds of Families, written by Suzanne Lang. Immerse yourselves in the magic of storytelling as we come together to explore all types of families. This event will teach your little ones about lots of nontraditional family structures. Kids will love finding their own family represented, no matter if they have two moms, one grandpa, or just a cousin named Doug. That’s not all – we’ve prepared an engaging activity that will make the evening even more special.
