Lit to Life: Carmela Full of Wishes

Bring literature to life during a participatory story time that will have you making and moving at Laguna Art Museum (LAM).

Carmela Full of Wishes by Matt de la Peña, with a self-portrait activity that showcases our dreams, wishes, and values.

On the fourth Saturday of each month, we’ll craft a storytelling experience inspired by a museum artwork or exhibition to foster children’s understanding of art’s role in their lives. Read-alouds will be supplemented with mindfulness exercises, art-making projects, or in-gallery activities that promote meaningful connections with caregivers and others.

Sessions are designed for PreK–5 learners and their families.

Part of the Imagination Celebration, an annual spring festival of the arts for children, teenagers and families presented by Arts Orange County and the Orange County Department of Education.
