While I think we should be reading aloud everyday, today is set aside by the nonprofit LitWorld, as World Read Aloud Day which spreads the word about the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories with children.highlights the profound power of reading aloud and sharing stories with children. We like holidays here at A Field Trip Life, and anything having to do with encouraging reading is worth celebrating.
My little book buddies are living now in Nicaragua. But with technology available, there’s no reason that I can’t read with them. We face timed and my heart melted when they asked for “one more book, please.”
Looking for good books to share with the children in your life? Here are some of my favorite bloggers and sites where you can find a world of multicultural books:
Now, I am off to our local women’s shelter where I am developing a library collection and encouraging moms to develop bonds with their children through reading.

Awesome! How fun to read with your grandkids across the world!
It is fun! An I imagine it must be fun for you to make author visits with children in different countries via technology.
My favorite of all times as a book to read aloud is The Little Prince. I read it in French to my own kids but the English translation is gorgeous too. It’s a long book, so I never read it at once. It often took a week, but my kids didn’t mind.
You must miss your little ones if they are now living in Nicaragua. But reading to them must bring them closer, though.
I always try to read The Little Prince each year. It must be wonderful reading it in the language it was written in.
I think I’ll try to read the Spanish translation.
