Come into the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Decorative Arts and Design galleries for an in-person morning story time with Alyssa Velazquez reading Pa, Me, and Our Sidewalk Pantry: A Picture Book by Toni Buzzeo and illustrated by Zara González Hoang, followed by a making activity for children 12 and under.

Pa and his grandchild, Jelly Bean, have a sidewalk library filled with stories. Anyone can bring donations or take something to read. Jelly Bean loves the sidewalk library! But what about when their neighbors need something more than books? Together, Pa and Jelly Bean build a sidewalk pantry right next to the library. Join in this year’s season of generosity through one family’s mutual aid project in their community.

This reading is made possible by Abrams Books for Young Readers.
