PEM Pals: A Boy Named Isamu
Peabody Essex Museum
161 Essex Street Salem, MA
If you are Isamu, stones are the most special of all.
How can they be so heavy?
Would they float if they had no weight?
Join us for a reading of a book about artist Isamu Noguchi. Author James Yang imagines a day in Noguchi’s life when he was a boy — exploring a forest, a beach, a market and other familiar scenes — to make his stone sculptures and playful artworks approachable for young readers.
Designed for children (5 and under) and their caregivers, PEM Pals aims to engage and excite all of the senses through books, movement, music, art and hands-on activities. Held on the first Friday of the month at 10:30 am.
Be sure to visit Isamu Noguchi: “I am not a designer” after the program and play on a touchable Noguchi sculpture!
