(see times)
Are we ever exactly what we want to be? Could we be someone else, someone better, or even just someone exuberantly untamed? These questions find possible answers in animated form, based on books by Mwenye Hadithi, Jack Kent, Rudyard Kipling, Maurice Sendak, and others. Followed by a thirty-minute presentation by author/illustrator Julie Downing who has over forty children’s books to her name. Her most recent, First Mothers, written by Deborah Trotter, celebrates the women behind the White House. Downing has also illustrated books for Ursula K. LeGuin.
