This children’s storytelling event will take place on Thursday, March 27 at 3:15 pm (new time) at the Resiliency Center of Newtown, 153 South Main Street, Newtown, CT.  Please RSVP to stephanie@resiliencycenterofnewtown.org. Meet Rosie the Raccoon who lives in a trash can, Jackie  Willowbey who lives in a hollow tree, and more. The program will end with a fairy tale that illustrates that when good meets evil, good is always stronger.  This event is recommended for children ages 5 and up.  Joan Almon, who will travel to see us at the Resiliency Center, will be our guest presenter.  She will share a medley of stories and verses with the help of her puppets. Joan Almon is a former Waldorf early childhood educator who fell in love with story telling and puppetry while teaching young children. Since then she has performed for all ages. Joan is also a co-founder of the Alliance for Childhood which seeks to assure every child of a healthy and creative childhood.
