Chicago Through Kids’ Eyes with Author Alina Dizik

Family-friendly event in Chicago, Illinois.

Chicago Kids Create! Join us for an interactive storytelling session where tweens sharpen their journalism and reporting skills, inspired by Let's Meet Chicago , a book by local journalist Alina Dizik. Tweens and families will explore the city through stories, movement, and conversation, then sharpen their reporting skills by creating Chicago-inspired interviews and an art project celebrating their neighbors. Perfect for young explorers and creative minds! How to Attend Register one day before the event. Chicago Public Library cannot collect personal information online from kids 0 to 13.
