Let’s travel back in time and explore the history of New York City through a read aloud of the book by Jennifer Thermes, Manhattan: Mapping the Story of an Island. We’ll hear about Manhattan’s forests of 20,000 years ago to the tall skyscrapers of today! In this mostly-outdoor activity, we will draw inspiration from views of the harbor and Statue of Liberty just outside the Museum, where young cartographers will create their own maps of Manhattan.
