#LatinxHeritageMonth
In celebration of #LatinxHeritageMonth, KIPP SoCal is partnering with #LilLibros for Summer Night Reads & Autumn Night Reads, a storytime read-aloud narrated by our own KIPP SoCal leaders! During this month and throughout the year, we are proud to honor the cultures, voices, contributions, and resilience of our diverse Latinx and Hispanic communities around the world.
Join us each Friday between Sept 15–Oct 15 at 6 p.m. PDT on our Facebook page! Our read-aloud will be a children’s book celebrating multicultural Latinx community building — including two books from Lil’ Libros: Vámonos series — highlighting different Latin American cities where readers will learn, discover, and immerse themselves in what makes each city special through iconic locations, food, and culture!
In addition, each week KIPP SoCal will be giving away a three (3) item @lil_libros Gift Pack, that includes:
- One (1) Lil’ Loteria bilingual picture word bingo set
- One (1) bilingual Lil’ Libros picture book celebrating a notable Latinx person, and
- One (1) bilingual Vámonos series book.
Follow us on instagram @kippsocal weekly to find out how you can win a gift pack throughout Latinx Heritage Month, and don't forget to tune in Fridays at 6 p.m. on Facebook LIVE to read along with us!

About Lil' Libros:
In a world with a shortage of bilingual books for children, two mothers began their mission to introduce bilingualism and Latin American culture through picture board books. Lil’ Libros was created to inspire parents to read to their children and encourage them to do so in two languages.
At Lil’ Libros, they celebrate Latin American culture and important figures in its history. Their books honor beautiful stories like the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and Cuban music icon, Celia Cruz in English and Spanish with rich and colorful illustrations while also introducing them to concepts like first words, numbers, colors, shapes, and biographies!
They believe children’s books are seeds that when nourished allow for a child to turn their dreams into reality.
