Stellaluna by Janell Cannon
March 1, 2024 | 9:00 – 10:00 am
We will have time to discuss the parts of bats, their importance in the world and local ecosystems, as well as how they are similar yet different to birds. Stellaluna the bat was raised by birds, and while they had many similar qualities, there were some that made Stellaluna question herself and her differences.
Once we are done with our indoor activities we will head outside for a short nature hike where we will look and listen for birds, as well as play a bat echolocation game!
