Summer Learning 2021 Virtual Kickoff Event

In this special edition of KidsLIVE, we catch up with Christian Robinson, the author and illustrator of You Matter, Another, and Last Stop on Market Street! We are so excited to share Robinson’s artwork throughout this year’s Summer Learning program. Join us for a reading from his new book Milo Imagines the World and a special drawing demonstration!

Join our friends at Turtle Dance Music to dance, sing along, and listen to stories and songs about Temple Grandin, Donna Williams, and other authors living with autism. Learn and have fun at the same time with this special neurodiverse program, suitable for all kids.

Get arty with the Children’s Museum of the Arts! Grab some paper, pens, and pencils, and get ready to join the gang to look at some art and try your hand at producing some yourself. Plus, don’t miss the color wheel scavenger hunt!

Read for 20 minutes every day, track your progress, and earn badges—all through our online reading portal on Beanstack. Sign up now!
