Sunday, Apr. 29, 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Day of the Child/Day of the book celebrates children, families and reading.  Visit the Allen Public Library, 300 N. Allen Dr., on Sunday April 29 to participate in this fun-filled day-long event that is hosted internationally.  Festivities begin at 1:30 p.m. and continue until 4:30 p.m.
 
At 2 pm in the auditorium, The Children's Chorus of Collin County presents "American Passport:  Journey through a World of Music."  Under the direction of renowned music educator Janie Oliver, the Children's Chorus will take the audience around the world.  Janie notes, "By striving to sing quality and challenging choral literature, we hope to teach children the joy and pride of producing something of beauty and excellence.  We want each singer to grow musically, artistically, and personally.  Hopefully, it will inspire others to join their voices with ours to make beautiful music."
 
She continues, "We enjoy performing in all the communities of Collin County.  It helps us to be more connected to our roots and expands our knowledge of who we are and where we come from.  Being a part of the Allen Library's Day of the Child Celebration was a great experience when we sang for you two years ago, and we are pleased to be able to return for a second concert."
 
The Children's Chorus of Collin County has performed in Austin at State Capitol Rotunda and in New York City at Carnegie Hall.
 
At 3:00 pm, puppet shows will feature "Favorite Stories on Stage" in the Children's Program Room.
 
Each show will be about 20 minutes.
 
Crafts and face painting will be available in the Youth Services area.
 
Sponsored by Youth Services and Kiwanis Club of Allen, Texas, this event is free.
