Imagination 2021: Storytime with Sara O’Leary

Percy’s Museum

Sara O’Leary is the author of numerous picture books including Maud and Grand-Maud, This is Sadie, and A Family is a Family is a Family. She teaches writing for children at Concordia University in Montreal.

A young boy moves from the city to a new home in the country. He misses his friends, but at least it’s summertime — flowers are blooming, baby birds are hatching, and caterpillars are transforming into butterflies. Enraptured by the natural world, Percy climbs trees, tastes wild strawberries and tries to catch fish in the river with his bare hands. Percy discovers that being alone doesn’t have to be lonely, but explorers often share their findings. So, he creates a way to share his collection with others…

Percy’s Museum is a sweet story about embracing change, the excitement of discovery and the wonder of nature and new friends.

This activity is for children ages 3 to 7.
