Come and enjoy the great outdoors, a story, and a craft at Fort Greene Park on July 17. The Summer Story Time Series, a joint effort between Greenlight Bookstore and Fort Greene Park Conservancy, brings literary programming for kids. Noted authors and artists Fran Manushkin, Julia Sarcone-Roach, and Giada Crispiels present their books followed by interactive activities for kids and families. The selections feature images of public parks in a celebration of Fort Greene’s own beloved public green space.
July’s author is Giada Crispiels with her coloring book “Wildlife of New York: A Five Borough Coloring Book,” featuring intricate images and playful details that celebrate the city’s landscape and animal life, from parks to brownstones to skyscrapers and beaches. Giada talks about her work, then offers a guided coloring workshop.
Story Time, July 17 from 3 to 4 pm; free.
