AT BRANDYWINE RIVER MUSEUM Read-Aloud tours inspire love of stories, art Young children and their grown-ups can hear a story and see the artwork in the Brandywine River Museum (BRM), then make their own creative work to take home on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. BRM Public Relations Coordinator Lora B. Englehart said that many families participate in Read Aloud year after year. The Zerbey family is one example. Jason, a stay-athome dad, first brought his three-year-old son, Westen, to Read Aloud. Westen loved Read-Aloud and looked forward to coming every week. When son Isaac, was born, the Zerbeys came as a threesome. As Isaac grew older, he became restless, and Jason thought their Read-Aloud ART EXHIBIT Quilts by Helen Larkin on view in Swarthmore Borough Hall Isaac Zerbey, 3, has fun making a picture to take home. days were numbered. However, little by little, Isaac learned to sit still during story time. Jason advises parents not to give up if their child doesn’t adapt immediately to all the elements of the program. With time, the child will adjust and reap all the benefits of Read Aloud. Books to be read on upcoming Thursdays are: Feb. 5: “Lines that Wiggle” by Candace Whitman; Feb. 12: “Extra Yarn” by Mac Barnett; Feb. 19: “Charlotte Jane Battles Bedtime” by Myra Wolfe; Feb. 26: “Ribbit!” by Rodrigo Folgueira; March 5: “Tap the Magic Tree” by Christie Matheson and March 12: “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle A special Read-Aloud program will be held on St. Patrick’s Day, Tuesday, March 17, with a reading of “The Tallest Leprechaun” by Emily Grace Koenig and green-themed art activities. The Read-Aloud Program is made possible by Joseph and Diane Packer in memory of Emily Grace Koenig. Emily Grace Koenig, a Villa Maria student, wrote “The Tallest Leprechaun” when she was 12 and died of meningitis shortly after the story was completed. Register if you plan to attend by calling the education office at 610-3888382 or e-mailing [email protected]. Read Aloud events are included with admission.
