Hare on the Chair Children's Event

The Harvard Coop, in partnership with the Harvard Square Business Association, presents an afternoon of fun and curiosity on Sunday, April 24 on pedestrian-friendly Palmer Street. Author and award-winning elementary educator emerita Mary Palumbo will read from her children’s book "The Hare on the Chair." This book, geared for ages three to eight, is a timeless story that encourages children to learn from mistakes, reassures them that missteps are part of growth and demonstrates that learning is a continuous cycle built on relationships, wisdom, courage and, yes, even fun. Registration to this free event is encouraged but not required. Come meet Mary and her cousin Annie, hear a reading of this encouraging adventure and have a copy of "The Hare on the Chair" signed. In addition, there will be crafts to create, treats to eat and music to enjoy:
