Zora Folk Tales at Paterson Free Public Library - Books Unite

  • Literature to Life New York, NY United States (map)

We are bringing The Giver to Paterson, NJ this summer with our "Books Unite" programming. Recommended for ages 10 & up.

12:00PM performance (doors open at 11:00AM), Paterson Free Public Library

The performance follows several of the folk tales featured in Zora’s various compilations, and allows the students to choose what happens next in the action. Through lively audience participation, humor, and classic folk tales, students discover how stories help us understand ourselves, our communities, and the wider world.  Blending performance and interactive learning, Zora Folk Tales celebrates the power of storytelling and encourages every student to recognize the storyteller within themselves.

Performed by Cheryl Howard
