{Guest post from Chana Stiefel}

I recently saw a question posed by Multicultural Children’s Book Day that I felt needed a thoughtful response from me.

The question was, “What book-related topics/concerns are you seeing discussed? Where do you feel there are “gaps” in representation when it comes to multicultural books for kids?”

First, I want to say a heartfelt “thank you” to the MCBD team and all of the hard work they are doing to spread the word about diversity in children’s books. When I saw their request for feedback about underrepresented groups, the first thought that came to mind was that I would love to see more Jewish books and Jewish authors and illustrators included in this important conversation.

Why Bilingual Read Alouds can be a savior when it comes to maintaining your bilingual child’s home language. We all like to hear that kids are like sponges, especially when it comes to learning a second or third language, right?

Well…think again, unfortunately, this is not true, as every parent trying to raise kids in more than one language will tell you, it actually takes quite a bit of effort, especially once the kids start to attend a creche, pre-school, or school with a majority language different to the home language.  Suddenly, that home language your kids were so amazingly fluent in, starts to crack. But relax, it happens in the best of bilingual families 🤪 and you have done nothing wrong.
