Bilingual Play- Stephanie's Ponytail

This Saturday we will be presenting an adaptation of Canadian author Robert Munsch's book, Stephanie's Ponytail. In the book, a young student wants to demonstrate her independent spirit and does so through increasingly unique hairstyles. The students laugh at her hair initially but wind up copying her. Stephanie, however, has the last laugh.

This is a wonderful message for children; especially bilingual school aged children. The story reinforces the message that it is okay, and even desirable, to be different.

This book will be presented as a bilingual play at the Main Library on Saturday, September 25 at 1:00. Please visit Clube do Livro's blog for more information about this and other events.
