Facilitating cultural exploration is a big part of our mission - as we continue to expand our collection of quiet books that reflect different countries and cultures.  This spring break, we hosted a FREE virtual Mandarin storytime with My Ms Panda to take little children to an adventure exploring China! 

During this fun-packed virtual playgroup session, Ms Ana took children to China and explore the country, traditions and foods- combining Mandarin learning with cultural explorations through songs, stories (with illustrations of quiet books and felt puppets), nursary rhymes, and interactive games!

Ms Ana used Little Bean's Toy Chest's quiet book "Exploring China" as the main medium for storytelling, showing parents and children how quiet books can be used as a way to tell stories and anecdotes, play games, and learn about languages and culture.
