Introducing children to myths and legends is an excellent way to expose them to stories from around the world. Using one of the most famous Irish tales, The Children of Lir, learn about the significance of teaching myths and legends and explore engaging activities that can help deepen children’s understanding and appreciation of this timeless tale.

Why Teach Myths and Legends?

October is Bilingual Child Month. It’s a time to celebrate the linguistic and cultural diversity among us. This celebration resonates with parents who are on the journey in passing on their heritage languages to their children, and those who are committed to providing their kids the opportunity to acquire a world language through bilingual or immersion schools, homeschools, and bilingual/multilingual resources. As technology draws communities closer, celebrating Bilingual Child Month is a step towards connecting cultures in our society.


In honor of Bilingual Child Month in October, Read Your World is thrilled to shine a spotlight on the magic and importance of bilingual books. Through a series of featured events, we are on a mission to raise awareness about the benefits of bilingual books for children, connect with families, educators, and children’s book enthusiasts, and celebrate multilingual culture. This event will be facilitated by Author and Board of Trustees Member, Amanda Hsiung-Blodgett.
