Join Kari-Lynn Winters for a high-energy Double-Up Day presentation! Here, children will explore doubling through movement, counting, and playful problem-solving, while building language, vocabulary, and comprehension through storytelling and sound. As the fun grows wilder, young learners discover that one small, special thing matters most—love, laughter, and reading together.

Readings and activities will also take place with children's author Joyce Grant and illustrator Jan Dolby!
