The Kelsey’s “Read and Look” program is a great first trip to the museum—providing visitors with opportunities to explore past and present cultures and connect with others. This event is free and open to everyone, but it is intended for children ages 4–8.

This month’s book is Egyptian Lullaby—a rich, beautifully layered ode to the great city of Cairo, Egypt, its people, and culture. Written by Zeena Pliska with illustrations by Hatem Aly, this book takes readers on a journey through Cairo, from boats making their way down the Nile to gentle calls to prayer from the mosques to young children joyfully playing soccer in the streets.

This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
