About this event
Join us for a reading of the book My Heart Fills With Happiness, written by Monique Gray Smith (Cree and Scottish) and illustrated by Julie Flett (Swampy Cree and Red River Métis). What fills your heart with happiness? This bilingual book in English and Anishinaabemowin was written to support the wellness of Indigenous children and families, and encourages readers of all ages to reflect on what brings us joy. After the story, be sure to check out the works by past and present Native American artists on view in On This Ground: Being and Belonging in America. Designed for children (5 and under) and their caregivers, PEM Pals aims to engage and excite all of the senses through books, movement, music, art and hands-on activities. Held on the first Friday of the month at 10:30 am.
