For Children
Adventures in Storytelling
Author Kathy Price is proud to announce a special storytelling event in the oral tradition. Join Kathy as she leads children in grades Pre-K to 3rd with her popular award winning, bluesy, picture book, The Bourbon Street Musicians. This event can also include a special musical arts craft.

The Bourbon Street Musicians, a New York Times-reviewed picture book is child participatory and finger snapping fun. With Rainbow Dust, Kathy’s guitar, as accompaniment, the bayou becomes alive, and the children enter a world of jazz, art, and poetry in this highly interactive program.

Kathy also shares how a picture book is made from A-Z, and welcomes a lively question, answer, and comment period from the children. In the special craft sessions each child makes their own musical instrument, Krawdad Kazoos! Every participant also receives a complimentary bookmark.
