Our Stories Belong: A Rainbow Storytime for ALL of Houston’s Kids
For Banned Books Week (Sept. 18-24), Brave Little Company, Holocaust Museum Houston, and the Montrose Center announce “Our Stories Belong: A Rainbow Storytime for ALL of Houston’s Kids.” Our Stories Belong is a free, in-person book club packed with creative activities, ideal for families with kids aged 5-10.
Love makes a family, and imagination gives us the key to becoming our true selves. A boy who wants to be a mermaid? A girl who wants to be a knight? Someone whose powers let them be a boy, girl, both, or neither? All of these stories belong in our book club! The books we’ve selected celebrate characters who creatively challenge expectations to find the joy of embracing their own identities.
Join us to celebrate families, individuals, and imagination. Come as you are, and bring a book to share! Your story belongs, too.
