Madelyne Oliver: Mary and the World Table

We invite you and your family to share in the magic of reading! Spend the morning with us and help us welcome local illustrator Madelyne Oliver as she reads her children's book she illustrated for story time followed by an activity for your young ones to do! Come join us on the stage in the children's department for a reading of, "Mary and the World Table," by Dr. Fawzia Reza.

Mary now has many friends and enjoys playing and learning with them. Her class has students from all over the world. To represent and showcase this diversity, a multicultural event was hosted by the third-grade teachers and the students were asked to bring food from their home countries. All students enjoyed tasting a variety of cuisines and many children and parents also wore their traditional clothes.

The event provided an opportunity for students to learn about the cultural backgrounds of their friends and develop an appreciation for them.

Come and meet Ms. Oliver and pick up a copy of the book for her to sign for you!
