Unearth a Story: She Sells Seashells

August 24 @ 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

The image shows a bright, playful banner with the words “UNEARTH A STORY™” in large, bold letters — “UNEARTH” in blue and “A STORY” in pink. On the left, a green dinosaur lounges on the grass beside a stack of books, while on the right, a purple pterodactyl perched on a branch reads an open book amid tropical plants and palm trees, creating a fun, prehistoric reading theme.

She sells seashells by the seashore,
The shells she sells are seashells, I’m sure.
So if she sells seashells on the seashore,
Then I’m sure she sells seashore shells.

 

Did you know that the famous tongue twister is based on a real story?

Come learn about the true story of Mary Anning, the first female paleontologist.

Story, self-guided craft, a tongue twister competition and a seashell to take home.

The image shows the cover of the children’s book “Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist.” It features an illustrated woman in a blue dress sitting among fossils and bones, using a small tool to examine one, surrounded by a circular arrangement of prehistoric skeletons and shells on a teal background.
