ENCHANTED SUMMER STORIES AT BOOK NOOK TRIBECA!
Literature and storytelling are at the core of the Book Nook mission—to expand the minds of children through words and illustrations. We can’t wait to go on another magical adventure with the second installment of Enchanted Summer Stories! Our program will once again explore the many genres that make up literature by implementing books, art, music, academics, and more over the course of the six-week program. Each genre will include a lesson that enhances the scope of the story’s message, theme, and overall importance in a child’s development and understanding of storytelling. July 11-Aug 17 (T/W/TH) | Ages 30 Months – 5 Years | Tribeca@BookNookNYC.com.
