“Listen & Learn” Interactive Storytime Experience Presented by: Judith Jacques, Author and Creator of Gardenland, the new picture book series.
Program Length: 60 minutes
Audience: Children (PreK–Elementary), Families, adults, seniors, and any animals that need a storytime!
Ideal Partners: Schools, book festivals, botanical gardens, bookstores, nurseries, plant shops, toy shops, environmental organizations, and outdoor education centers.
Program Overview
The Gardenland “Listen & Learn” experience is an engaging, interactive storytime designed to connect children and families to simple life lessons, gardening, nature, and environmental stewardship through literature and hands-on discovery.
During this one-hour session, I:
1. Read aloud from Gardenland – bringing the story’s characters and themes to life.
2. Facilitate guided discussion – using thoughtful questions from the back of the book to spark curiosity and reflection.
3. Lead a hands-on, nature-based activity – reinforcing key themes through creativity and exploration.
The result is a dynamic experience that keeps the conversation going long after the story ends.
