We may not be able to meet under the tree for storytime this year, but we can bring stories to you virtually! Join storytellers from the Friends of St. James Park and the Friends of Berczy Park together with the St. Lawrence Branch of the Toronto Public Library, as they read favourite children’s stories.
In this fourth and final virtual Storytime Under the Tree, volunteer Tegan Miller reads two of her favourite stories, WE FOUND A HAT by author and illustrator Jon Klassen and ANNA’S RAIN by Fred Burstein and illustrated by Harvey Stevenson.
We hope you enjoyed this virtual series. A big heartfelt thank you to our five volunteers, Maranatha, Faiza, Jon and Bruce, and Tegan, for helping to make this series happen. We will figure out a way to meet in person for the next Storytime Under the Tree program! Until then take care and keep reading!
It’s storytime again! We are back with neighbours Jon and Bruce for our third Storytime Under the Tree. They read the popular, good-for-all-ages story THE BAD SEED written by Jory John and illustrated by Pete Oswald. As a bonus, they also read a short and sweet story, I AM SO BRAVE by Stephen Krensky, illustrated by Sara Gillingham.
Our second episode of “Storytime Under the Tree” features Faiza Venzant reading her own book MY MAMMA WANTS TO EAT ME UP! and illustrated by Patrick Girouard.
In our first video, Maranatha Kim from the Toronto Public Library reads the story JUST BECAUSE written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. This book is suitable for ages 3-6 years and can be borrowed from library. This book is being read with permission from Candlewick Press.
