On December 11, the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum will present a free and open to the public presentation of Story Time With Uncle Story. The program, which will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Water/Ways, will feature the children’s book The Great Big Water Cycle Adventure by Kay Barnham.
Following story time, visitors can hear from Corey Wright, Conservation Educator and Naturalist at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. In addition to his talk, Wright will also have some aquatic animals for visitors to meet and learn about.
Water/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution and sponsored by the Mississippi Humanities Council. The exhibit explores water’s connection to all aspects of our society, including the endless motion of the water cycle, water’s effect on landscape, settlement and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality.
