Boston Book Festival’s second annual Hubbub: Creative Commotion for Kids free festival for kids and families will feature a drop-in workshop where children ages 5-12 will construct an imaginary self by making their own mask. Participants will personalize and embellish their masks with paints, markers, decorative papers, stickers, feathers, fur, and more. From there, children will write a story, scene or poem starring the one-of-a-kind persona they have created via the mask.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
