Give your Saturday morning a bilingual twist at BookPeople Presents: Spanish Storytime with El Niño y El Cuento!

Erika Martinez and her team of enthusiastic volunteers turn the children’s section into a cozy corner of cuentos, canciones, and lots of giggles. It’s a welcoming space where Spanish-speaking families, dual-language learners, and total beginners can all enjoy stories together.

• Listen to lively picture books read aloud entirely in Spanish, with plenty of expression so kids can follow along even if they’re just learning the language.

• Join in on simple songs, rhymes, and call-and-response moments that get little ones clapping, repeating words, and feeling confident.

• Pick up new vocabulary in a natural, playful way—perfect for kids growing up bilingual or families hoping to add more Spanish into everyday life.

• Meet other parents, caregivers, and kids who love stories as much as you do, and swap tips on favorite books and activities.

El Niño y El Cuento focuses on making Spanish literacy feel joyful and approachable, not like homework. The vibe is relaxed, kid-friendly, and interactive—expect movement, participation, and a few delightful surprises along the way.

Bring your curiosity, your pequeños, and maybe a favorite stuffed animal to cuddle with during the stories. Whether Spanish is your first language or brand new to your family, this storytime invites everyone into the circle.
