Today we will read the Caldecott Award winning book Henry’s Freedom Box by Ellen Levine based on a true story of one man’s unique, creative escape from enslavement.

Preschoolers and their caregivers will be given an opportunity crawl inside Henry’s Box and see other artifacts about freedom seekers around Boston.

Our free, bi-weekly Storytime program engages kids 18 months to 6 years old by focusing on play, Newton's history, literacy, and lessons from our museums.

Each 30-45 minute program includes reading from a children's book, an activity, a museum takeaway, and access to the museum afterward.

Families are welcome to bring snacks for their kids.

Includes free entrance to the museums after the program.
