For Banned Books Week (Sept. 18-24), Brave Little Company, Holocaust Museum Houston, and the Montrose Center announce, “Our Stories Belong: Rainbow Storytime for ALL of Houston’s Kids.” Our Stories Belong is a free, in-person book club packed with creative activities, ideal for families with kids aged 5-10.
A boy who wants to be a mermaid? A girl who wants to be a drummer? A cat who might be more than just a cat? All of these stories belong in our book club! Love makes a family, and imagination gives us the key to becoming our true selves. The books we’ve selected celebrate characters who creatively challenge expectations to find the joy of embracing their own identities.
Join us to celebrate families, individuals and imagination. Come as you are and bring a book to share! Your story belongs, too.
