Yalda for Kids: Storytelling & Art Making @ Kirkland Library

Join KCLS & Peyvand Non-Profit Organization for a children’s storytelling and artmaking session that celebrates Shab-e Yalda (Yalda Night), a Persian holiday dating back thousands of years that welcomes the winter solstice & brighter days ahead triumphing light over darkness. On Shab-e Yalda, families gather to read Persian poetry including epic tales & myths.

RSVP before Dec. 14 to ensure adequate seating & art supplies for attendees: https://tinyurl.com/4pmxuwk7

Peyvand volunteer Hanif Zarrabi will lead a storytelling session at the start of the event & the second half of the program will be dedicated to creating Yalda-themed arts & crafts led by Peyvand volunteer Amelia Ossorio using construction paper, glue sticks, scissors, pencils and markers.

There will also be a button press to make custom pin designs! Guests are welcome to attend only the story reading, drop in for the artmaking, or stay the full duration.
