Share stories and engage in conversation as a family during Circle time to build positive racial identity, leadership skills and compassion.
While we share stories and talk, families in the Circle partner with facilitators from the library and the YWCA of Northeast Kansas to build positive racial identity for children in our community. CIRCLE stands for compassion, integrity, raising leaders, community and civility, literacy, and equality. This will be a safe, supportive learning environment that is family- and kid-friendly! We will share a story together and have small group Circle conversations that connect.
On December 5 we will read Milo Imagines the World by Matt de la Pena. While Milo and his sister travel to a detention center to visit their incarcerated mother, he observes strangers on the subway and draws what he imagines their lives to be.
This program is offered in collaboration with YWCA Northeast Kansas. Register today to hold your space!
