A Reading in English and Spanish with Mónica de la Fuente

Do you remember what it felt like
when someone read to you as a child?
¿Requerdas como te sentias
cuando eras niño y alguien te leia?
Many Rivers Books & Tea invites English- and Spanish-speaking families to join local author Mónica de la Fuente for an interactive reading of her mindfulness picture book, “Something in My View”. More than a traditional story time, this event will be a shared experience for children and the grown-ups who love reading to them.
At first glance, the book is a simple story about bubbles. As the story unfolds, children and adults are invited to discover something unexpected through curiosity, conversation, and reflection. Following the reading, children will enjoy a bubble-inspired art activity.
Something in My View was inspired by Mónica’s many years of meditation practice and a desire to offer children – and the adults who read with them — a simple way to pause, share a quiet moment together, and notice what remains in that stillness.
