The Kelsey’s “Read and Look” program is a great first trip to the museum—providing visitors with opportunities to explore past and present cultures and connect with others. This event is free and open to everyone but is intended for children ages 4–8.
Do you ever wonder what happens to all the stuff we throw away? Bethany Barton’s I’m Trying to Love Garbage takes a (dumpster) dive into the history and future of garbage—exploring how animals, humans, fungi, and various creepy-crawlies play important roles in collecting and disposing of waste. Filled with fascinating facts, enjoyable illustrations, and plenty of humor, I’m Trying to Love Garbage prompts us to reflect on the trash we create and the places it ends up.
