Come into the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Decorative Arts and Design galleries for an in-person morning story time with Alyssa Velazquez reading The Carpet: An Afghan Family Story by Dezh Azaad and illustrated by Nan Cao, followed by a making activity for children 12 and under.
We sip our tea and talk together,
Ruby cushions of goose feather.
The carpet is for sitting.
The Carpet follows a day in the life of an Afghan refugee child, where every moment revolves around love, family, and the carpet that connects them to home. The carpet is the centerpiece of family life—where meals, stories, laughs, and memories are shared.
This reading is made possible by Abrams Books for Young Readers.
