Story Time: “Peter Rabbit” with the film’s producer, Jason Lust

  • Pack Memorial Library, Lorde Auditorium 67 Haywood Street Asheville, NC, 28801 United States (map)

Presented by Connect Beyond Festival and the Buncombe County Public Libraries.

Join movie producer Jason Lust (Peter Rabbit, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day) for a special story time event that celebrates the connection between literacy and reading to children, and explores the connection between books and movies! We’ll read from the book Peter Rabbit and also watch scenes from the movie. After that, Jason will share about his work, making books into movies.

After the reading, Jason will be joined by non-profit film education expert Ellen Steloff of the non-profit Rabbit Hole. They will be available to talk to both kids and adults about the power of sharing our stories, as a way to learn about other people's lives.
