Event Details

Listen and follow along as Ms. Helene, the Steampunk Youth Services Librarian at the Balboa Branch Library, shares a virtual online storytime reading of a classic Ukrainian folktale, "The Mitten" - adapted and exquisitely illustrated by Jan Brett. Shared with permission by the Penguin Random House (Penguin Young Readers) publisher. [preschool and up]

"One by one, animals in a snowy forest crawl into Nicki's lost white mitten to get warm until the bear sneezes, sending the animals flying up and out of the mitten. On each turn of the page, signature borders inspired by Ukrainian folk art hint at what animal is coming next."

A delightful book to be enjoyed together over and over again by the entire family!
