The African Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in collaboration with Madison Goodman South Library is proud to present our inaugural Children’s African Story Hour series. Join us each week in a fun and relaxing atmosphere as we share award-winning children’s literature that celebrates the diversity of art, culture, food, and language across the African continent. Participants will engage in hands-on creative activities and will have the opportunity to sample different African cuisines. Each week promises to be fun and enriching!  This program is free and designed for children ages 5 – 10 and their caregivers. All are welcome!
