This was my first time leading a Hanukkah Storytime. I’m so thankful to Heidi Rabinowitz for being my support and teacher. I learned so much about the significance of the Hanukkah traditions. I hope this will help others want to share.

This is amazing! I love sharing Cuenta Cuentos at Los Amigos Books! My friendship with Latina owner Laura and the bookstore has been a blessing.

Here are Miss Rosie Reads top pics for Spanish language and bilingual books for 2024!! I personally read these books for Storytime. To be my winner i decided by language (Spanish or Spanish & English) diversity, authentic cultural representation, Latine Author, High Storytime interest, level of Illustration.

I feel that is very important for children to have cultural play. This type of play helps to foster and grow empathy, cultural awareness, and community respect. I think it’s important to pair a book with each of the toys or games as a way of explaining what the items are. I hope this inspires you.##missrosiereads #storytime #librarylife #childrenslibrarian #weneeddiversebooks #bookstagram #libraryprograms #hanukkah
