University Heights Library Hosts Indigenous Folktales Kamishibai Storytime

• Tuesday, November 15th, 6pm, here is the Flier
• Come celebrate Native American heritage with indigenous folktales shared in a Kamishibai storytelling style.
• This is a children's storytime that the whole family and all ages can enjoy!

Kamishibai brings international folk tales and other stories to life for people, from toddlers to teens and beyond. In this Japanese style "street theater" storytelling tradition, a professional storyteller reveals a series of illustrations contained in a storybox as the narrative unfolds. Before TV & comic books existed in Japan, there was Kamishibai (kami = paper; shibai = theatre). With a wooden box, illustrations & a great narrator to tell the story, kiddos will be in for a treat!
