Writing Workshop for Kids

The Skull

Join us for a creative writing workshop as we create alternate endings for "The Skull: A Tyrolean Folktale" by Jon Klassen. Best for 3rd - 6th grade students. Registration is Required.

"The Skull" is Jon Klassen's retelling of a traditional Tyrolean folktale originating from Austria. He first read this folktale in an Alaskan library and kept thinking about it well after he put the book down. He revisited the story a year later and found that his memory of the ending had changed over time, which led him to create his newest book.

During this program, we will read the story together and pause to create our own endings before learning how Klassen concludes the book.

Summary: In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both?
