hope for Baltimore
There’s a lot going on in “Charm City” right now, but I hope that parents will bring their children to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum on May 9th for this wonderful event. Please spread the word!
3rd Annual African American Children’s Book Fair
A rare chance for children to experience the world of kids’ literature focused on African Americans and people of other ethnicities. The event is fun-filled, while exposing children to their diverse world, and kids who look like them, through childrens’ books and illustrations. Enjoy author readings, illustration workshops by illustrators, cultural performances, and craft activities. Purchase hard-to-find titles in the Book Village. Free children’s books will be distributed while supplies last. Special guests include poet Eloise Greenfield. Celebrity reader is Dr. Gregory E. Thornton, CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools.
This program is presented in partnership with Baltimore City Schools, Enoch Pratt Free Library, and Mocha Moms Inc. Sponsored by BGE. Free museum admission 12-4pm. For all ages!
Date and Time: Saturday, May 9, 12:00 pm
