SUMMARY:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime: Mommy Time
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime is a fun hour full of reading and activities in the William Paca Garden\, a secret treasure in the Historic District of Annapolis. Each program is designed for little ones\, 3-7 years\, with a book reading\, song\, and craft/art project\, plus time to explore the Paca Garden following the story hour. \nMommy Time by Monique James-Duncan\nRollicking rhyme and playful illustrations record a day in the life of two rambunctious children and their stay-at-home mother. As fun as it is being a kid\, it can be hard work being a mom. When Dad heads to his job\, the joyful chaos of getting ready for the day begins. To the children\, that day is a happy blur of school and playdates\, singing and dancing\, supermarket walks and library stops\, bath time\, story time\, bedtime. But Mommy’s time is filled with a whole lot more sweeping\, laundry\, stinky diapers—tiring work achieved with love in her eyes and care in her smiles. An authentic catalog of precious moments in the life of an ordinary family\, this warm\, revealing story builds a bridge of empathy between parent and child and celebrates the value of “Mommy time.” \nCelebrate Mother’s Day in the garden! Join us for a song and a unique craft! \nAdvance registration required\, space is limited.

SUMMARY:Mermaid Storytime & Wish Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:A calm\, magical storytime with a real mermaid—designed for little ones who still believe. Promotional images by: Sarah James Photography. \n\n\n\n\n✨ A Magical\, Intimate Mermaid Experience ✨ \nMeet a real mermaid in a calm\, storybook setting designed just for young children. \nJoin Mermaid Carissa for a one-of-a-kind storytime created especially for preschool and early elementary ages. This is not a crowded party or high-energy event. It is a gentle\, immersive experience where each child is seen\, included\, and part of the magic. \nOnly 5 children are admitted to keep the experience personal and meaningful. \nWhat happens during the experience: \nChildren are welcomed with a short\, gentle playtime from 2:40–3:00 PM\, where they can explore a cozy nursery space and settle in comfortably. \nAt 3:00 PM\, Mermaid Carissa begins a peaceful\, engaging storytime designed to hold attention without overwhelming young guests. \nAfter the story\, each child is invited forward one-by-one for a special wish-making moment. During this time\, each child receives a shell necklace\, makes a magical wish\, and shares a quiet\, personal interaction with the mermaid. \nA dedicated assistant captures each child’s moment during the ceremony\, so families receive keepsake photos at no additional cost. \nEach child also leaves with a small take-home treasure\, including a wrapped surprise gift and a handmade crocheted mermaid tail. \nThis experience is intentionally designed to feel calm\, personal\, and memorable—perfect for children who thrive in smaller\, more meaningful settings.
