Award-winning musician Jim Gill invites Wilmette and Kenilworth families to create a video book inspired by his picture book May There Always Be Sunshine. The project begins with this live event!
Jim will sing a few songs to get things started and then explain how you can create a page for our community book. Children must submit their art to the Library by June 17 to be included in our book. Children do not have to attend this program to submit their art.
Everyone will be able to see Jim singing our book when it is finished! Register here to get the Zoom link.
Here is a preview of what our video book will look like. Earlier this year, Jim Gill was featured in a video created with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
