Children’s books have begun to focus in sensitive ways on conveying issues around climate change, and to teach us how different cultures think about the environment. For this closing day public program in association with the pop-up exhibition of Climates of Inequality, families are invited to join Lorene Sisquoc (Mountain Cahuilla/Fort Sill Apache), Curator at Sherman Indian Museum to learn about and make baskets. Also featured is a bilingual reading of Carole Lindstorm and Michaela Goade’s We Are Water Protectors (2021 Caldecott Medal Winner) and English-Language reading by Riverside Artist/Author Tim Musso from his Chasing the Sun (2023), both for ages 3-7.
