ArabishWay Story Time/Circle Time – Kirkland Public Library

June 11, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 11:00 am UTC+0

Join us for ArabishWay Story Time with Laila Taji on Thursday, June 11th from 10:30am-11am

This half hour circle time will be full of Arabic stories, Arabic songs and Arabic games!

Laila Taji is an American of Palestinian heritage. She has an MPH in public health from the University of Washington and currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two girls. She loved watching her kids blossom into readers but struggled to make that happen in Arabic since most books are complex and written in formal Arabic. She wrote These Chicks to give her kids an early Arabic reading experience and to connect them with their Arabic heritage.

These Chicks (هالصيصان) is a beloved nursery rhyme, well-known in the Levant; much like Hey Diddle Diddle in the States. This board book is ideal for toddlers, the easy-to-read Arabic print is perfect for blossoming Arabic readers and the English transliteration and translation aids non-Arab speakers or not-so confident Arabic readers.
