Join us as we explore poetry with The People Shall Continue by Simon Ortiz (Acoma), illustrated by Sharol Graves. This powerful story uses poetry to tell the story of the Indigenous peoples of North America from Creation to the present and how their beliefs and customs were preserved over the years despite oppression and the destruction of Indigenous homelands. After hearing the poetry of the story, children will create their own poems, learning how to make shapes with their words.

A SMALL SAMPLE OF THE SKILLS DEVELOPED WHEN CHILDREN ATTEND STORY TIME SESSIONS:
- Increases vocabulary and overall brain development. Improves attention, concentration and listening skills.
- Increases creativity and imaginative thinking.
- Social and communication skills development and most importantly, it is fun, and children get to spend quality time with an adult who is important to them-YOU!
