We had a fantastic storytime with Gursharan Bharth, library friend and author. She read from her children’s book, “Veer’s First Day of School,” and then led a fun, hands-on craft activity inspired by the story. You can find a copy of this wonderful book available for checkout - we highly recommend it!
