Campfire Story Time

Join us for Week 6 of Discovery Center’s USA 250 Summer Programming as we journey to the American Southwest with Here Is the Southwestern Desert by Madeleine Dunphy.

Through engaging, rhythmic storytelling, this beautifully illustrated picture book introduces young readers to the Sonoran Desert and the fascinating plants and animals that call it home. As each page builds upon the last, children will discover how every living thing—from towering cacti to tiny insects and desert wildlife—is connected in an intricate web of life.

After the story, families can participate in hands-on activities inspired by the unique ecosystems of the Southwest. Together, we’ll explore desert habitats, learn about adaptation and survival, and discover how plants and animals depend on one another to thrive in one of America’s most remarkable landscapes.
