In our latest Revolutionary Virtual Storytime, the Museum's own Rebecca Franco, Family Programs Manager, reads aloud Now and Ben: The Modern Inventions of Benjamin Franklin, written and illustrated by Gene Barretta, with permission from Square Fish/Henry Holt & Company. Square Fish writes that in Now and Ben, "Gene Barretta brings Benjamin Franklin's genius to life, deepening our appreciation for one of the most influential figures in American history."

This Virtual Storytime was originally featured as part of Virtual Spring Break with the Museum, sponsored by PECO, which ran online in April 2020, featuring do-at-home crafts and activities, virtual story time, Artisans Field Trip living history interviews, and live Q&As with Museum staff.
