A love of books and reading is a lifelong treasure passed from adult to child, from generation to generation. The 15th annual Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature at the Concord Museum in historic Concord, Massachusetts, is sure to bring out the child in everyone!

Giving Concord’s renowned literary tradition a creative twist, from December 3, 2010 through January 2, 2011, the Museum’s galleries are filled with 36 fanciful trees of all shapes and sizes, decorated with original ornaments inspired by acclaimed children’s storybooks and contemporary picture book favorites.

This year, the Lead Sponsor for Family Trees is Barefoot Books. Media Sponsor is the Massachusetts Teachers Association. Proceeds from Family Trees, organized by the Museum’s Guild of Volunteers, benefit the Concord Museum’s education initiatives. On Saturday, December 11, as part of Family Trees, enjoy a delightful visit with Santa and have your picture taken (10:00-12:00 ongoing).

A whole roomful of seasonal activities (10:00-1:00 ongoing) includes face painting, crafts, treasure hunts, cookie decorating, letters to Santa & more. This year Barefoot Books of Concord will be joining in the craft activities! By reservation only; reserve early as space is limited.
