'Stone Soup' is an old French folktale in which hungry strangers convince the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone enjoys, and exists as a moral regarding the value of sharing. This charming rendition by Pegasus Puppet Theatre is a musical set in the snowy arctic. The characters are all indigenous animals, including a clever arctic fox, an arctic lemming, a walrus, puffins, a polar bear, and a magical narwhal. This story inspires the qualities of generosity, coming together as a community, and the value of looking beyond stereotypes. This customized program is built to help developing readers grow confidence, explore books and have fun through interactive activities. Designed for new and emerging readers, each Ready Reader program offers a unique experience that may include games, group reading, crafts, or storytelling. Library staff adapt the content to best meet community needs while supporting early literacy and a love of reading.
