Join us Sunday, September 27 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM for an enchanting Story Time Canoe Paddle! We’ll combine the magic of story time with the outdoor beauty of a gentle canoe paddle on south Minneapolis’ Chain of Lakes. Together in our 10-person North canoes, we’ll sing and paddle on Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles, and Cedar Lake. At Cedar Lake Point Beach, we’ll pull over onto the shore for a story time led by children’s bookstore Wild Rumpus staff.

Joining us for this paddle is beloved children’s author Molly Beth Griffin! Molly is the author of many picture books including Ten Beautiful Things, Just Us, Rhoda’s Rock Hunt, Rings of Heartwood: Poems on Growing, and Far, Far Away. She lives in South Minneapolis with her partner and their two children, where she enjoys walking around lakes, taking photos of birds, eating pastries, watching mysteries, and waiting for the mail.
