Here is
a deeply satisfying celebration of Dr. King & his message
of fairness & respect for all as revealed through entertaining
African-American folktales & songs, an in-the-moment student
play with masks, a dance, & much more. Celebrate our diversity
and justice for all. Learn about history, even meet a talking,
fiddle-playing turtle who helps a slave to freedom. |

Call or Email to find out more about the many African and African-American tales and tunes your littlest to oldest patrons will love. Over the years, Mary Jo ended up loving and learning so many tales from this story-rich culture.
Above, kids act out Rabbit and Elephant. (Or request an Anansi tale with animal headdresses.) Hear the mbira, thumb piano, and dance to "Down in the Valley," a Gullah dance from West Africa and the Georgia Sea Islands.
You can check the calendar for open dates, too!
This show books solid every year. Hurry for
best choice of dates, many are already taken.

A
Multicultural Holiday/Winter Show of STORIES & SONGS
FOR
WINTER MONTHS
Celebrate the holidays or just warm up winter with
this delightful, interactive family show that is a gift of story
and song for all.
- The Most Precious Gift, a charming Italian folktale told with mandolin and some fun Italian. Ansaldo's gift of fluffy white cats may prove better than silver or gold in the Canary Islands.
- Sing-along fun
- The chilly Russian story, “King Frost”--Make the wind blow, hear the ice crackle & find out which little girl will feel like a popsicle--permanently. Will the little dog get more pancakes?
- "It snowed last night, it snowed last night...." mime and mimic along...by the end you'll know this poem by heart.
