Ivy Kids Saturday: Rain Forest Animal Masks
On May 11 from 9-10 a.m., join The Ivy Bookshop in making colorful masks of rain forest animals, including tropical birds, monkeys, jaguars, and frogs! We’ll color the masks with markers or crayons, cut them out, then add elastic so that we can wear them and act out our favorite rain forest animal!
This event will feature children’s author Laura Resau, whose most recent book, Stand as Tall as the Trees: How an Amazonian Community Protected the Rain Forest (co-authored with Patricia Gualinga) tells an inspiring true story about how an activist in the Amazon worked with other Indigenous communities to protect and preserve their sacred lands and forests.
Laura Resau is the award-winning author of Stand as Tall as the Trees: How and Amazonian Community Protected the Rain Forest (co-authored with Patricia Gualinga) and nine other highly acclaimed young adult and children’s books, including The Lightning Queen, Tree of Dreams, What the Moon Saw, Red Glass, and Star in the Forest. Laura draws inspiration from her time abroad as an anthropologist and ESL teacher. She lives with her family in Colorado and donates a portion of her royalties to Indigenous rights organizations in Latin America. Learn more at https://www.LauraResau.com .
