Storytime: Daddy / Papi

A very young visitor looking through a children's book in the National Gallery's East Building.

Let’s play together while reading aloud the children’s book Daddy / Papi written and illustrated by Leslie Patricelli in English and Spanish.

Our playgroup will gather at the East Building entrance, and we’ll get settled in the Atrium with a special, rotating book and other creative play activities to enjoy. We’ll read the story twice. Storytime is free of charge and registration is not required.

Almost two dozen men, women, and children stand in a street market in this horizontal painting. The people all appear to have pale skin, though a few of the women’s faces are tinged with green. The men are bearded and wear coats and the women long skirts or dresses in shades of rust brown, sage green, slate blue, and brick red. Baskets holding green goods along the foreground closest to us are loosely painted so details are indistinct. A screen of two- and three-story buildings on the far side of a town square are painted with golden yellow and honey orange. The outlines of skyscrapers beyond are hazy against a cloud-streaked, blue sky. The artist signed and dated the painting in the lower right corner, “JEROME MYERS 1931.”
