## About

The North Carolina Museum of Art's toddler story time takes on Hanukkah this month, with readers from the Jewish Federation of Greater Raleigh. Children and caregivers read books about the Festival of Lights, sing songs and look at original works of art — including a historic Hanukkah lamp from the museum's Judaic collection — while celebrating family traditions. Families also hear about PJ Library literacy resources that keep reading going at home. The 30-minute session is free and best for children 18 months to 4 years.
