Storytime with The Carle: The Old Boat

For Families
Online
-
Join us on Facebook Live for a storytime about a boy, a boat, and the changing sea.

Off a small island, a boy and grandparent set sail in their beloved fishing boat. As time passes the small island and ocean change, until a wreck sets the stage for a new beginning. Join us as we read Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey’s The Old Boat and get inspired by “Small Island, Big Song,” UMass Fine Arts Center’s upcoming performance about pacific islands, tradition, and environmental challenges.

Want to see more? Reserve your tickets today to the performance on Sunday March 27th and use the promo code “Carle10” for 10% off Adult tickets in ranges A and B.
