Books Alive! 

Literacy through the Arts

Books Alive! is a dynamic academic and arts program for children ages 3-8 featuring a professional musical play based on a children’s book followed by academic workshops with curriculum to encourage literacy and meet TEKS objectives. Presentations can be scheduled at your school or students come to KVPAC for a field trip.

Professional educators, school administrators, librarians and PTA officers are invited to preview Books Alive! free-of-charge upon request.

Books Alive! is on the Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) touring roster and many schools, libraries, and non-profit organizations qualify for a grant to pay for fees.

Early booking is encouraged because dates fill quickly. Last year, more than 30 schools and organizations participated in Books Alive! including: Shriners Hospital for Children, Ronald McDonald House, Reach Out and Read, Head Start Centers (Sealy, Houston 5th Ward and Brookshire) and public and private schools.
