Stars, Stories, and Smiles! - Free Reading Events for Kids!

April 03, 2026

Do you have a child, niece, nephew, or young family member in PreK through 2nd grade? We'd love for you to bring them to Stars, Stories, and Smiles!, a series of free community reading events celebrating Spotting Stars, a children's book created right here at Ball State.


Designed for children ages 4–8 (younger/older kids are welcome too!), the book follows Zara, a young girl who discovers her unique talents, and was developed by BSU students and faculty alongside Muncie families and educators.
