Soar into an inspiring adventure with The Roller Coaster Kid by Mary Ann Rodman! Follow Zach, a brave boy who faces his fear of roller coasters to help his grieving grandfather find joy again. Then, design and decorate your own kite to take home and fly high! This series is presented by the Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay, home to the world’s largest collection of original artwork by children’s book illustrators. Through picture books and hands-on activities, the museum inspires a love of reading and creativity for all ages. Each week welcomes a guest presenter, a featured story and a related craft. Designed for kindergarteners through adults, these programs are perfect for families to enjoy together. This year’s series celebrates 250 years of American stories, creativity and courage. From brave heroes and clever inventors to legendary folk tales, these stories spark imagination while encouraging the next generation of storytellers, artists and dreamers.
