Event Details

In this Japanese tradition, a professional storyteller reveals a series of illustrations contained in a storybox as the narrative unfolds.  Before TV & comic books existed in Japan, there was Kamishibai (kami = paper; shibai = theatre).  With a wooden box, illustrations and a great narrator to tell the story, children will be enthralled with the stories and pictures! Kamishibai Around the World focuses on folklores from around the world and is on the third Monday of the month from 4-4:30pm.

There's also another Kamishibai Storytime for babies and toddlers on the first Wednesday of the month from 10-10:30am

This storytime program is presented by Write Out Loud San Diego. The Mission of Write Out Loud is to inspire, challenge and entertain by reading literature aloud to audiences of all ages.
