In this delightful take on a Burmese folktale, watch the power of kindness change the world.

In this delightful take on a Burmese folktale, told by award-winning storyteller Noa Baum and illustrated by renowned ecologist and artist Zev Labinger, watch the power of kindness change the world.  Rooted in her Jewish heritage, and focusing on timeless universal values, Noa engages young and old in an interactive conversation about the choices we can make to bring more healing and peace into our world. Noa also shares the process of turning a story told in the oral tradition into a picture book.

This program is made possible by a Maryland State Arts Council grant.
