Looking for a Rapid City Storytelling Event that is more than just Storytime?
Join Bug & Bear Press founder Rebecca Young at the Rapid City Public Library for a hands-on experience that puts kids’s ideas at the center of the next story.
The Story Shapers Experience brings you Interactive Storytelling and so much more.
This isn’t a sit-and-listen kind of day.
It’s a creativity-fueled, imagination-first, storytelling adventure that lets young minds create alongside the author.
At each stop, you’ll find a colorful blend of books, creativity, and co-creation:
🖍️ Live read-alouds from the Bug & Bear adventures
🧠 Mini Creativity Challenge workshops that spark imagination
📬 Postcard Station: Stories Start Here!
🧵 The legendary Traveling Cape—and new community capes at every stop
This isn’t your average storytelling event.
It’s part performance, part creativity lab, part choose-your-own-adventure.
Whether your kid is a writer, a doodler, a talker, or a chaos-loving idea machine, they’ll leave this event with color on their fingers and a story in their head.
