About the event
What does it mean to be brave? In The Dragon Slayer, children meet a tiny hero with a very big plan: to slay a dragon. With gentle humor, bold imagination, and a wonderfully simple story structure, this book invites little readers to think about courage, problem-solving, and storytelling.
After reading, children will create their own friendly dragon or storybook creature using colorful scales, wings, horns, and silly decorations. Together, we’ll imagine who our creatures are, where they live, and what kind of adventure they might begin.
Featured Book: The Dragon Slayer by Tatyana Feeney
Build-a-Creature Workshop: Children create their own friendly dragon or magical creature using colorful collage materials and imaginative details.
