GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — Pioneer PBS is organizing events for kids to meet and have pictures taken with Curious George.
On Saturday, June 22 from 10 to 11 a.m., Curious George will be at the Granite Falls Public Library as a part of a special event to celebrate the release of Teresa Peterson’s new children’s book Grasshopper Girl — a story about storytelling and where Grasshopper Girl learns character lessons from Unktomi, the Dakota trickster.
Peterson, a Dakota from the Upper Sioux Community, will read her book and teach children some of the Dakota words used in the book. The book is illustrated by Jordan Rodgers, a Lakota artist studying at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
