Description

Join a Discovery Center Naturalist as we reveal this month's book When Spring Comes by Kevin Henkes. Before spring comes, the trees are dark sticks, the grass is brown, and the ground is covered in snow. But if you wait, leaves unfurl and flowers blossom, the grass turns green, and the mounds of snow shrink and shrink. Spring brings baby birds, sprouting seeds, rain and mud, and puddles. You can feel it and smell it and hear it—and you can read it!

 

Please register the child/children names only. Space is limited and registration is required by 4/17/26. These programs are free of charge and are sponsored by the Shepherd-Howells Fund. Participants will meet in the Forest Classroom in the Discovery Hall. The first 10 families to register will received a copy of the book thanks to the generosity of the Shepherd-Howells Fund!
