Celebrating a Literary Treasure: Winnie-the-Pooh at 100

Join Kathryn Aalto as she delves into the universal themes of adventure, friendship, discovery and nostalgia that make the Winnie-the-Pooh stories so enduring. The books, as she explains, are more than literary treasures--they are field guides for 21st century Christopher Robins, celebrating childhood curiosity and the art of doing nothing while learning everything. Kathryn also reflects on the power of storytelling to shape our relationship with nature. By examining the Hundred Acre Wood not just as a setting but as a character in its own right, she illustrates how literature can inspired both conservation efforts and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
