FREE Naturally Playful Spanish Book Club

Thursday July 31st 11:30am Central Time

 While I read and chat about The Children of The Forest - Los Niños del Bosque, you get to feel:

  • Relieved. You can take a breath, knowing your child is soaking in Spanish through story, not fast screens or pressure

  • Rested. This is your moment. Sip a refreshing drink, sit back, and let me guide your child into a gentle Spanish experience

  • Reassured. No flashcards, no overwhelm—just a sweet story, a trusted guide, and Spanish that flows naturally

  • Aligned. You’re choosing a path that honors your child’s pace, your family’s values, and the beauty of bilingualism through story and rhythm

A Beloved Nature Tale, Read Aloud in Lovingly Spoken Spanish. With Each Page your Child will Connect with Language through Imagery, Seasonal Themes and Wonder

 

Hi, I'm Laura from Spain, a homeschooling mom of 2 and Waldorf Inspired Spanish teacher for children ages 3-12

When my first child was born in Canada, I found myself as his sole source of Spanish interaction. I was determined to find an effective way to teach him Spanish as a native speaker, even in a non-native environment... and I succeeded! We now live in Spain and my boys adapted smoothly to life as native-speakers.

The key was integrating storytelling, singing, and rhymes into our daily routine. These activities not only fostered a deep connection in his heart and mind but also became a cherished ritual at home. It was a calming and enjoyable way to establish routines and make learning fun.

Now, alongside my private classes and membership programs, I offer a free monthly book club to support your family's Spanish learning at home

About the Author and Book

Laura Sales Page Brand (3)

Elsa Beskow was a Swedish children's book author and illustrator. She is often called the 'Beatrix Potter' of Scandinavia. Elsa Beskow's popular Swedish children's books include Peter in Blueberry Land, Children of the Forest and Pelle's New Suit. Swedish children have grown up with Elsa Beskow's books for over 100 years.

The children of the forest live deep in the roots of an old pine tree. They collect wild mushrooms and blueberries and shelter under toadstools when it rains. They play with the squirrels and frogs, and when fall comes, they collect and prepare food to see them through the long winter, until the warm spring breeze starts to blow. It is one of Elsa Beskow's classic stories.

Want the book for your home library? It is available in English (Floris Books) and in Spanish (ING Edicions). Amazon carries both languages as well as other independant bookstores.
