Green Tales: What if an alien visited Earth?
by Myrto Vounatsou
Children aged 6-12
No previous knowledge of Greek is required.
What if an alien visited Earth? How would you introduce them to the wonders of nature on our planet?
What do the trees and flowers in your neighborhood look like? What sounds fill the air? What makes your animal friends so special?
Through storytelling, sounds, images, and imagination, children are invited to explore the natural world around them and bring their own green stories to life.
Together, we will create a story that celebrates the beauty and diversity of our planet—a story that will travel beyond the sky, across the stars, and into the universe!
