This was from a storytime a while back, where I filled in for a staff member who was feeling under the weather. Since I’m at a new system, I was trying to adapt a bit to the style of the Librarian I was filling in for, so that attendees would recognize some of the songs.
Which means I get to learn new things to incorporate into storytime!
