Lantern Fest Book Suggestions

What could be more UU than sharing a good book that helped you and/or your child to understand a messy or complicated piece of our collective past or present? 

At Lantern Fest you'll find books for children or adults that you can borrow:  

• If you see a book you want to borrow, there will be a sheet of paper on a clipboard to give your information for requests.  

• Please leave the book at UUFCC until the UUFCC Lantern Fest UUseum concludes Sunday at 2 PM.  Thank You.

The religious education committee Festival team developed a list and collection of high-quality books mainly to support the festival theme of learning to be better change agents through a deeper understanding of the stories of important civil rights-era people and events. The collection has books suitable for ages from pre-k to adult.  

The collection also contains some children's books in two other thematic areas of the Imagine & Dream Lantern Festival:  religious lantern festivals around the world and influential dreamers.  These connect with other festival themes. 

The collection offers especially good options for a parent or other adult to read and discuss a book with a child. 

The UUFCC Religious Education Committee plans to have some printable reading lists available in the future.
