• The Biggs Museum - Book Reading with Eleanor Vernice Siyon of Sylvia Visits the Land of Angels by author Eleanor Vernice Siyon. In the story, Sylvia falls asleep and dreams that she is visiting the beautiful “Land of Angels”. Ms. Siyon states that, “This is a charming, heavenly story that is beautifully sung and narrated on an accompanying CD. Rich expressive illustrations set the tone for a fun-filled spiritual adventure and poetic verse flows freely as feelings of peace, happiness, and serenity are imparted by the original music.” Ms. Siyon is an educator, author, and playwright whose primary focus is enhancing the spiritual development of children of all faiths and spiritual interests. Her work will help children to grasp and understand that they are truly spiritual beings and will inspire them in their own beliefs. Copies of the children’s book will be available for inscription and purchase. Illustrations are by Latonia Jones and the flute and piano are performed by Carlos Holmes. From 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Free, All Ages.
