Little New-Yorkers: the Ocean Calls: a Haenyeo Mermaid Story

Happy Women’s History Month! For generations, Korean women called haenyeo have been diving off the coast of Jeju Island in search of ocean treasures. Dayeon wants to be a haenyeo just like her grandmother! We’ll hear the story of Dayeon and Grandma in The Ocean Calls, written by Tina Cho and illustrated by Jess X. Snow. After the read-aloud, make your own haenyeo mermaid craft! 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.
