Program Description

Event Details

In this series, we will step beyond the pages of the chosen book and explore the real life people, events, and ideas that inspired the author to write and share their story with the world. 

Before Winnie the Pooh was introduced to the world in 1924, there was a very real little boy named Christopher Robin who enjoyed playing with his beloved stuffed animals in the woods near his home.

During this program, we will take a deep dive into the world of the Hundred Acre Woods and the real life inspirations for the stories that took place there.

"A story is a way to say something that can't be said any other way." - Flannery O'Connor
