What a creative adventure students at the Edwards River Public Library were able to enjoy! They used their imaginations to create shoe houses their mice can live in, based on the story, "The Mouse Who Lived in a Shoe."

We look forward to teaching this again in the near future. If you missed this session, be sure to come to the Henderson County Library September 8 from 10-12pm for story time and art making with Christel Thompson! This class is meant for participants birth to 5 years old. See you there!
