In this Family Program, you are invited to be a part of this fun, educational experience
Have your tablet or computer screen in a location that allows your child and you to sit comfortably, while providing space to also get up and move. This class mixes story time, with music and movement so we want to do everything possible to facilitate that.
If you have ever participated in our live Story Times or classes, you know that we love colorful scarves and things that make noise (like egg shakers, drums and maracas!). We are going to engage you and your child as much as possible, so if you have these items available it will add to your and their experience. If you do not have these instruments at home feel free to be creative with anything that can make music and movement; salt bottle, small towel, scarf or any kitchen utensil.

Walking Over the Earth takes readers on a yearlong funny and
sometimes maddening travel experience with Laureen, as she journeys, solo, at age 74, from the Arctic Circle to the Sahara Desert, and many places in between and after. Laureen is 82 now.
Laureen Kruse Diephof was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She attended Colorado University, and graduated with a BA in Sociology from the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California, and attended graduate school in Education at National University in San Diego. Laureen has been affiliated in some form of the communication business for several decades as a photojournalist, including publishing a piece in USA Today. Her major accomplishment in life, aside from her family, is earning a pilot’s license in the Colorado Rockies.
She has lived in The Netherlands and in Costa Rica and traveled to other countries from both of those locations. She feels blessed by having many adventures while traveling the world, and her worldwide, one-year memoir Walking Over the Earth has been published and available on Amazon.
When she left her photojournalism job to tour the world, it wasn’t to run away from anything and she didn’t have much of a plan. Her life was going well, but there was and still is, a big part of her who wants to see the bigger picture out there in the world. The people, the culture, the food and everything that makes us all a bit alike, and a bit different, as well.
This is an online class.
