On one Saturday morning every month, caregivers can enjoy brunch and watch their charges engage with leading children’s authors and illustrators at Gladstone Hotel. TINARS For Tots is not a hipster variation on traditional “story time”. Creators will bring their tales to life in performative, interactive ways like group drawing and craft projects, sing-a-longs, puppet and powerpoint shows, and more!
