On Saturday, October 26th, our storyteller will be our Guest Experience staffer Chastity (Diné), and our book will be Grandmother Spider Brings the Sun: A Cherokee Story by Geri Keams, illustrated by James Bernardin.

When Possum and Buzzard fail in their attempts to steal a piece of the sun, Grandmother Spider succeeds in bringing light to the animals on her side of the world. After reading, children will be lead in crafts with sunflower seeds.
