Join us on Mondays for story time with Luana. Delight in tales that will sweep you away on journeys through magical worlds where you will meet enchanting characters. All accompanied by crafts and games.
This event occurs in French only. It’s an excellent opportunity for bilingual and francophone families alike!
Luana was born out of stardust and is here to teach all of us—big and small—how to ride the waves of our emotions! Luana’s stories and cast of characters take kids on a journey into magical worlds where their imaginations can run free as they learn how to identify their emotions, notice how their emotions feel in their body, and appreciate the wonderful gifts our feelings give us. Kids will learn how to harness their sensitivity and intuition, and listen to and nurture their relationship with themselves.
