Program Description

Event Details

Read for the Record Day is on October 26th, 2023.  This year, we are celebrating and reading With Lots of Love by Jenny Torres Sanchez. After storytime pick up a craft to make in the library or take it home. 

With Lots of Love is a story about a girl who has moved to the United States from her home in Central America, away from everything she leaves behind and longs for- especially her Abuela. Rocio does her best to adjust to a new way of living, but there are many things she misses from her old life – Abuela’s cooking, Abuela’s piñata creations, Abuela’s warm hugs, and of course, Abuela herself most of all. But Abuela finds a way to send Rocio something special just in time for her birthday – a gift wrapped with lots of love – and that fills Rocio to the brim. 

The themes of familial relationships, food, celebrations, and connecting with loved ones over long distances in With Lots of Love will be sure to inspire and comfort young children and families all year long!

Toddlertime incorporates stories, music, and movement into an engaging storytime for children. Ages 16-36 months.
