SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PFA Theater
(see times)
Getting along with each other is one thing, getting along with the world outside, another. These shorts address how our habits, needs, and desires sometimes impact those around us. Becoming harmonious with our environment is at the heart of these works based on Tomie dePaola, Dr. Seuss, William Steig, and others. Followed by a thirty-minute presentation by author/illustrator Elisa Kleven, known for creating whimsical imaginary worlds. A large-scale tapestry rendered from her drawings is on view in the Children’s Room of the Berkeley Public Library Main Branch.
