From the page to the stage: Free Books Alive! performances at Cinco Ranch Library teaches literacy through the arts

About this Event

Continuing its mission of encouraging literacy through the arts, Books Alive! is currently on its spring/summer tour with a performance of The Ballerina with Webbed Feet, which is coming to the Cinco Ranch Branch Library in June. On Monday, June 8, from 3:00 – 3:45 pm and 4:00 – 4:45 pm in the Meeting Room of the Cinco Ranch Branch Library, Books Alive! will bring the cherished bilingual children’s book to life for children in grades 1 - 5. The Ballerina with Webbed Feet by Pam Von Scoyoc is the story of a duck that desires to be a ballerina, despite having webbed feet. It’s a tale about failure and triumphs, inclusion and self-acceptance, setbacks and inspiration, and friendship and resilience. Books Alive! is a professional touring company with a skilled writing team that creates original musicals by working with authors of children’s books, and adapting those stories into fully staged, original 45-minute musicals for schools, hospitals, libraries, and youth organizations.
