'The Story of Ferdinand' is a children's book written in 1936 by Munro Leaf, illustrated by Robert Lawson.

The story's protagonist is a bull, Ferdinand, who has no interest in bullfights.

Instead, he would prefer to smell flowers.

When in the ring, he ignores all provocation and refuses to fight.

The book was written shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil war but was considered a pacifist book by Francisco Franco's supporters.

KidsArts!

students (ages 6-11) have spent months developing the script, set, costumes, and music for 'The Story of Ferdinand.' This colorful evening will celebrate creativity and uniqueness.

Light dinner is included, as is an art sale of works by local artists and a silent auction of dozens of items.

All proceeds benefit KidsArts!

Multicultural Afterschool and Summer Program, a non-profit arts organization that has been a part of the community for 19 years.
