A new show for families with younger children opens in the Faulkner Planetarium this Friday (October 9). "Little Eve: Stories of Planet Earth" is a beautifully animated show that has a message for kids that even though they may feel small, weak, and powerless, they each have special traits that make them not so powerless and vulnerable. Eve and her siblings are bullied by the wolves on the playground and Eve feels powerless. Eve's mom helps her understand she is not so powerless through stories of the evolution of life on Earth where the small and weak prevailed. Watch out wolves, here comes Eve and her siblings!

"Little Eve: Stories of Planet Earth" shows Fridays at 7:00 PM and Saturdays at 1:30 & 7:00 PM.
