Art & Story-time: Create with Ali Six

Join artist and author Nikko Locander for a fun and creative family workshop inspired by his new children’s book, The Coquí That Lost Its Voice! The workshop will begin with a special 10-minute reading of the story, followed by a hands-on activity where young artists can sculpt their very own coquí using air-dry clay.

For our littlest participants, we’ll have coloring pages and crayons to decorate their favorite scene from the book.

Come listen, create, and celebrate the beloved coquí through storytelling and hands-on art with Nikko Locander.
