Little New-Yorkers: Patience Wright: America'S First Sculptor and Revolutionary Spy

This month we are celebrating The Historical’s new Revolutionary Women exhibition with stories of women who left their mark on the American Revolution. Today we are reading Patience Wright, written by Pegi Deitz Shea and illustrated by Bethanne Andersen. Patience was a woman with two amazing talents: sculpting and spying! During the Revolution, she used her sculptures to send secret messages from England back to her home in the American colonies! After the story, make your own sculpture, complete with a hidden note!  Join us every Tuesday and Friday at the Museum for story time and crafts! Each class includes a special hello song, silly dances and games, a story book reading, and a craft to do after the story.
