Looking for the perfect way to spend your Saturday? Join us on Oct. 17 at 12 pm for a truly special read-along event! The Perry Museum will be presenting "I Have Heard of a Land," a beautiful story written by National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Thomas and brought to life by the stunning illustrations of Coretta Scott King Award honoree Floyd Cooper. This powerful book transports us back to the late 1880s during the Oklahoma Land Rush, sharing the inspiring tales of pioneers—including many African Americans newly freed from slavery—who bravely headed west to stake their claim and build a brand-new life. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn, reflect, and enjoy some incredible storytelling together as a community. We would love to see you there, so mark your calendars and bring your family and friends along for an afternoon of history and heart. See you on Saturday!
