For Families
Auditorium

Free with Museum Admission

Join us for storytime to read and celebrate Audrey Helen Weber’s new picture book The Birds in the Boat. Their lush new story follows a family of birds and their animal friends as they take off on adventures: floating atop the waves, sailing in a rowboat, singing to greet the day, and soaring through the skies, all while knowing that a safe treetop and a nap awaits them. After the reading, Audrey will host a live drawing demonstration to show how they draw the characters in the book.

A book signing will follow the program. Can’t make it? You may reserve signed books online.
