Have you wanted to give your children exposure to Italian? Or do you want to read something simple in Italian, yourself? The Wednesday night Italian Conversation Group, who meets at the Beebe Library, noticed there weren’t many books in Italian in the children’s section. Most of this Group are Order Sons & Daughters of Italy in America Wakefield Lodge members. They decided to change that with a recent donation of children’s books, direct from Italy.
One of our members, Dana, traveled to Abruzzo Italy recently and purchased several children’s books, carefully selected with the help of local bookstore managers. The collection includes titles which are popular with Italian children and will offer young readers an opportunity to explore the Italian language, stories and culture while experiencing a meaningful connection to Italy.
