Tellabration! Events for Kids

Children’s Concert

Saturday, November 26, 10am
in the Open Book Performance Hall

The Children’s Concert will take you around the world and back again, with stories from as far away as Africa and as close as the Mall of America. Come listen, dance, laugh, sing, and allow your imagination to soar as five terrific storytellers and two talented concert hosts weave together “A World of Stories.”

Featuring Auntie Beverly, Larry Johnson, Carol McCormick, Margaret Meyers and Nothando Zulu; hosted by Katie Knutson and Pam Schweitzer. Although this concert is designed to be appropriate for school-aged children, all are welcome. More info at our Children’s Concert page.
