On October 3rd, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum welcomes cellist, nature photographer and author, Kathy Miller for an interactive, fun and free program about chipmunks, birds and nature photography. Appropriate for children 4 and older and the young at heart.
Kathy Miller is a teacher, professional cellist,
and nature photographer. She spent two years photographing and observing Chippy
the chipmunk in her garden. With Bachelor degrees in education and music,
Miller enjoys doing interactive children’s programs that include a listening
activity, nature photography tips, the story of Chippy projected on a screen
and a hands-on burrow building simulation.
"I hope my book inspires children to spend
time outdoors exploring nature,” said Miller. “Photography can be a fun way for
kids to discover interesting things in their own backyard. Their own
pictures can be used to create stories."
This program is free and open to the public. To
make reservations, please call 573.221.9010, ext. 401.
