Saturday, February 7, 2026: Meet Author Yvette Cole!
"Harriet's Dinner Party: A Journey Through History with All Five Senses"
Join author and educator Yvette Cole for an unforgettable, interactive storytelling experience based on her debut children’s book, Harriet’s Dinner Party. In this multimedia presentation, children are invited to step into the world of Harriet Tubman through a video Storytime that brings history to life.
- In this imaginative tale, a young girl enjoys dinner at Harriet Tubman’s home alongside iconic guests like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Ida B. Wells. Through music, storytelling, and sensory engagement, young audiences will learn about Harriet Tubman's humanitarian legacy and the impact of other Black historical figures in a fun, age-appropriate way.
Children will sing along, touch and smell themed props, and engage all five senses as they explore history in a way they’ll never forget. The program concludes with a themed activity and the opportunity to meet the author for a book signing and photo opportunity.
Yvette will be presenting Harriet's Dinner Party at the Danbury Museum at noon on Saturday, February 7. All are welcome and the event is FREE!
