Picture books offer talking points, examples, and language for real life situations. Learn how to use books to engage with your child about big topics in a safe, affirming space.
Wilmette Public Library, in collaboration with the McKenzie Elementary PTA, invites parents and caregivers to build community through this interactive picture book workshop. We will recommend picture books on big topics and current social issues, and demonstrate how to engage kids in meaningful dialogue. Bring your questions and concerns.
