About

Rapper and children's author Jelle Verse runs this hands-on rap workshop at OBA library branches during the autumn holiday. He reads from his picture book De Rijmslang en zijn Papegaai (The Rhyme Snake and His Parrot), with his parrot, funny stories and QR codes keeping everyone involved. Then kids learn to rhyme, write their own lines and record them on a studio microphone. Parents join in alongside their kids.
