Day of the Child/Day of the Book celebrates children, families and reading. Visit the Allen Public Library, 300 N. Allen Dr., on Sunday April 29 to participate in this fun-filled day-long event that is hosted internationally. Festivities begin at 1:30 p.m. and continue until 4:30 p.m.
At 2 pm in the auditorium, The Children's Chorus of Collin County presents “American Passport: Journey through a World of Music.” Under the direction of renowned music educator Janie Oliver, the Children’s Chorus will take the audience around the world. Janie notes, "By striving to sing quality and challenging choral literature, we hope to teach children the joy and pride of producing something of beauty and excellence.
The Children’s Chorus of Collin County has performed in Austin at State Capitol Rotunda and in New York City at Carnegie Hall.
At 3:00 pm, puppet shows will feature “Favorite Stories on Stage” in the Children’s Program Room.
Each show will be about 20 minutes.
Crafts and face painting will be available in the Youth Services area.
