The holiday season is officially here. That means decorations, gifts, food, drink, family time, traditions and simply being merry. However, there are plenty of ways to make sure that you and your loved ones do more than that. You can also use this time for reading with friends and family in the comfort of your home. We would like to invite you to broaden your horizon and explore new ways to involve your family. Below you will find some links with a multicultural perspective. Become creative and travel around the world experiencing how other cultures celebrate holidays, read along in Spanish with some of the animated stories or with celebrities. There are many options and innovative ways to celebrate too!
