Book sorting!

Did you know that the stories and books that surround our children and youth not only provide time for family connection and enhance a sense of imagination and adventure, but they can also help kids understand our UU Principles and values? 

From The Lorax to The Rainbow Fish to the It's Okay to be Different Book,authors have helped us to teach our children lessons about caring for our earth, sharing our gifts, honoring diversity and beyond. 

Which books do you think should be on the shelf of every UU kid? Which books should be on our shelves here at UU Flint?

On Saturday, May 28th from 10:30am-1:30pm, join us as we explore our church's current collection of children's books and begin to develop a wish list for a book drive in the fall!

Bring a list of your favorite books, a bag lunch and let's build our dream UU Library! 


*Make it a family activity; children and youth are encouraged to accompany their family so that they may offer their expertise as well! Childcare is available by request only for our youngest children. Please RSVP no later than May 26th to director-lifespanlearning@uuflint.org
