Leo Lionni

Students will participate in an author study of Leo Lionni's work following the February break. First graders will visit the Flynn Theatre, Burlington on Monday, March 10th for a production of Swimmy! one of Lionni's award winning children's stories. 

If you visit the library this week, or just take a look on your book shelves at home, consider reading a few of Lionni's stories with your child to help them prepare. INQUIRE about Leo Lionni with your child by visiting his page on the Random House website: http://www.randomhousekids.com/brand/leo-lionni/videos/

Here is a YouTube video of a creative read-aloud and interactive visual illustration of Swimmy! by Nathanial Coburn. Fun with shadows and simple fish cut outs that your child can re-create at home too!
