A Carnival of Stories

Join the story hunt in this Black History workshop, specifically created for Early Years children! Our storyteller will take your little bookworms on an imaginative journey around the world.

Starting in England, become a pirate with the book Amazing Grace, before traveling up a Kenyan mountain in Lila and the Secret of the Rain. Then, quick! Off to the Caribbean with Island Counting 123, until finally meeting the keeper of all the stories himself, Anansi.

Using tales, songs, and rhymes, this special Early Years’ Story Hunt session is JAM-PACKED with interactive activities to engage your children with a rich part of Black History.
