The Institute for Regional and International Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in collaboration with Wisconsin Public Libraries is pleased to present the Children’s International Story Hour, a time of sharing award-winning children’s literature that celebrate the diversity of arts, culture, and language across the globe. Participants will also learn about global music and engage in hands-on crafts that stimulate their curiosity. Each week promises to be fun and enriching! The event is free and designed for children ages 5–10 and their caregivers, but all are welcome!
