“Little Meena and the Big Swim/La Pequeña Meena y el Gran Nado” is a tale of collective triumph over bullying and greed. The story follows a group of young fish who, with the guidance of an elder, organize to make positive change in their community. To their amazement, they find that working together gives them superpowers. Four members of the Society have been cast to read with Lorna, and we all can join in the singing of Meena’s song and participate in a related art activity.
Dr. Lorna Gonsalves has worked as a crisis counselor, university professor, non-profit director, and youth advocate. Her life and work experiences in India and the United States have underscored the importance of storytelling, the arts, and collective action in building a just world.
