Children will create poetry by writing and drawing with sidewalk chalk. The program will include a reading of the poem, "Sidewalk Chalk" by Carole Boston Weatherford.
Carole Boston Weatherford is the 2025-2026 Young People’s Poet Laureate. Of her work, Weatherford says, “My mission is to mine the past for family stories, fading traditions, and forgotten struggles that center on African American resistance, resilience, remarkability, rejoicing and remembrance.” Inspired by oral traditions and African American heritage, she sometimes collaborates with her son, rapper and illustrator Jeffery Boston Weatherford.
