Title: Storytime
Date: 1964
Description: Storytime commission: "Shortly afterward, she gave a demonstration at the Beth Am Temple. One of the members of the temple committee had said she loved this group so. She reads stories to her children, and felt the work belonged to her. 'Oh,' she said, 'I'd love to buy that.' I thought of the first production that I had made of it that had gotten spoiled in the casting, and I told her, 'if you're willing to let me retouch it, repair the damages that have made in it, I'll sell it to you.' The eager woman agreed and now has this piece of sculpture in her home." Dannett, Profiles of Negro Womanhood, vol. 2, pp. 42-43
