SUMMARY:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime: Mommy Time
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime is a fun hour full of reading and activities in the William Paca Garden\, a secret treasure in the Historic District of Annapolis. Each program is designed for little ones\, 3-7 years\, with a book reading\, song\, and craft/art project\, plus time to explore the Paca Garden following the story hour. \nMommy Time by Monique James-Duncan\nRollicking rhyme and playful illustrations record a day in the life of two rambunctious children and their stay-at-home mother. As fun as it is being a kid\, it can be hard work being a mom. When Dad heads to his job\, the joyful chaos of getting ready for the day begins. To the children\, that day is a happy blur of school and playdates\, singing and dancing\, supermarket walks and library stops\, bath time\, story time\, bedtime. But Mommy’s time is filled with a whole lot more sweeping\, laundry\, stinky diapers—tiring work achieved with love in her eyes and care in her smiles. An authentic catalog of precious moments in the life of an ordinary family\, this warm\, revealing story builds a bridge of empathy between parent and child and celebrates the value of “Mommy time.” \nCelebrate Mother’s Day in the garden!
