"It's wonderful
to be surrounded
by friends."

"I was lonely at home;
I missed laughter. My
move to The Park at
Trowbridge was a
wonderful experience.
The entire community
is warm and gracious,
and I was welcomed
like royalty. I like
everything about The

Park at Trowbridge

— the wonderful staff,
food, transportation,
entertainment, friends
and neighbors. And now
I can choose to be by
myself or surrounded
by friends. I've never
had it so good."

he first words and images
that children encounter in
books remain an unspoken
and powerful influence throughout
their lives.
Starting Sunday, Oct. 14, families
with children ages 5-12 are invited to
take a journey that begins on a printed
page in "Every Picture Tells a Story,
Teaching Tolerance Through Children's
Picture Books" presented at
Shalom Street, Federation's
museum of Jewish life
and culture at the
Jewish Community
Center in West
Bloomfield.
Through playful
and interactive displays
spotlighting almost 100
illustrations from more than 40
favorite children's books, the exhibit is
designed to open the discussion of tol-
erance, respect, community, diversity
and our common humanity.
"Understanding what make us
different and how those differences
bring us together could not be a more
important topic for parents to broach
with their children today;' said Sharon
Hart, Shalom Street chair.
Emphasizing the bonds that unite
people through music, dance and even
food, young visitors to the exhibition
are encouraged to shoot hoops like
Michael Jordan, as illustrated in the
book Jump; and transform themselves
into a "Starbelly Sneetch" from Dr.

Seuss' beloved The Sneetches.
Most importantly, "Every Picture
Tells a Story" encourages children's
literacy and creativity and reminds
young readers that everyone is special,
each in his or her own way.
With the generous support of the
Charles H. Gershenson Trust, Maurice
Binkow, trustee, "Every Picture Tells a
Story" will run from Oct. 14 through
Dec. 30. It is the first exhibi-
tion following renovations
to the museum.
Museum hours are 1-5
p.m. Sunday through
Thursday, with special
guests and celeb-
rity readers every Sunday
afternoon.
Reservations are recom-
mended. Registration is required
and available at the front desk of the
West Bloomfield JCC. Tickets are $5
per person or $18 per family. Group
rates are available. (248) 432-5465.
