Kick off the evening with a joyful and affirming story hour featuring two readings by:

Miss Shirley
A big city girl with small-town dreams, Shirley Delta has graced stages from the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to libraries and PRIDE events across Colorado. Known for her heart, humor, and theatrical flair, she brings stories to life in unforgettable ways.

Lulu Buck
First-generation Mexican American author of the award-winning children’s book Sue’s Sky, Lulu shares a powerful message of acceptance, belonging, and creating safe spaces for all children. Her interactive reading invites families into a story that celebrates identity and inclusion.

🎨Paint Your Sky Experience

🕕 6:15pm–7:00pm
🎟 Free (Includes art supplies for activity, your own copy of Sue's Sky, and a meet and greet with author, Lulu Buck)

After story hour, stay for a special guided art experience: Paint Your Sky.

Led in an interactive, artful session, participants will create their own “identity sky”, a symbolic expression of the rich tapestry of identities within our community. You’ll leave with your very own painted sky and a meaningful reminder of the evening.

Let’s come together to paint a brighter, more inclusive future.
