October's Theme

Let's celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15)! The classic tale of the "Princess and the Pea" has a new twist in this Latin-inspired version, La Princesa and the Pea by Rebecca J. Gomez! Team up with your family to hunt for hidden mattresses and lost peas while bonding, laughing, and fostering a love for reading together.

November's Theme

We're reading Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood and Meg Hunt. Cinderella has plans to go to the Royal Space Parade, but when the prince's spaceship breaks down, she flies over to help with her trusty sonic socket wrench. Experience the magical tale and get ready to retell it when your family crafts their own puppets featuring characters from the story!
