Bilingual Kid’s Story Time with Fabienne Doucet – Call and Response Books

Author and early education expert Fabienne Doucet will be at Call & Response Books on Saturday, December 7 at 2:30 p.m. to read her latest children’s book, Love is Still Winning/El Amor Siempre Triunfa! This book is in both English and Spanish, a great bilingual read for children who are learning how to navigate sometimes difficult circumstances with positivity.

When a little one sees their parents overwhelmed with the aftermath of distressing news, they remind themselves of the love that still shines through, and all the ways love is showcased in the simplest of actions that we often overlook. Whether helping a neighbor or reminiscing the beauty of a sunset with a loved one, love triumphs all. This inspiring picture book will encourage your little ones to practice seeing the good that exists all around us.
