Join us friends, family, young and elder, for a special reading of Flowers for Sarajevo. This beautiful book tells a story of a brave boy who practices kindness during a time of conflict. Resonate for our time, we are reminded of the power of beauty and kindness when the world is upside down. After the reading we’ll create Kindness Rocks to spread amid our community.

Practicing Love in Times of Conflict is one in a series of monthly Community Literacy Events at the Merry Barn. Inspired by a new theme each month, the gatherings highlight creativity through reading, writing, and the arts. Read alouds, engaging projects, and tasty treats bring together folks from diverse generations and backgrounds. These events are free and open to the public, with donations welcome.

Merry Barn, 417 River Rd., Edgecomb, ME. For questions, merrybarnwritersretreat@gmail.com.
