Bilingual Books To Aid in Post-Pandemic Social and Emotional Learning
One of the “after effects” of the recent Covid-19 pandemic is the exacerbation of mental health challenges faced by children. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Policy Lab’s article Addressing System Needs for Child Behavioral Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic states that “…early evidence on the pandemic’s impact on youth combined with the children’s mental health crisis that existed before COVID-19 means that youth and their families will need access to quality, affordable and timely behavioral health services now more than ever.”
To help address this concern, Multicultural Children’s Book Day created its 2023 Classroom Kit, Mental Health Support for Stressful Times, to provide some needed mental health resources for kids. We have created a list of additional bilingual resources to complement this kit to aid in post-pandemic social and emotional learning.

Celebrating the Bilingual Child Month
October marks Celebrating the Bilingual Child Month! This month is designated to recognize and celebrate bilingual children and the incredible gifts they bring to the classroom. In addition to enjoying the cognitive, social, and emotional benefits of being bilingual, these students act as a bridge between cultures, promoting understanding and empathy. With them, they also bring a unique perspective to classroom discussions, challenge themselves and others to think in new ways, and broaden everyone’s worldview.
