The hubbub of every day is full of questions. But how often does somebody ask what you’d put on a playground for Elephants? Or what you can do, to make someone feel safe when they’re scared?
Good questions, whatever age you are! You can find plenty in this new bilingual English + Spanish series of Good Questions to get kids thinking and creating, and talking about empathy and possibility.
As another new year rolls around, I hope you can enjoy asking good questions as you gather – and enjoy lively conversations about whales and rain and dancing, and how you can save the day today.
I hope you enjoy exploring the Good Question! + ¡Qué Buena Pregunta! playlist to spark fun conversations with friends, family, coworkers and strangers throughout the season.
I don’t know the answers to these questions! But I’m confident kids will.
So here’s to brand new possibilities, wild ideas and hope! With so many thanks to all the wonderful visual, literary and performing artists it’s been a pleasure and a privilege to collaborate with this year.
Many more Sparks Creative Stories are on the way – bilingual stories celebrating arts and science, creative kids taking action, a special story by request, and a big bilingual kindergarten-readiness project.
Thank you for subscribing to the Sparks Creative Stories YouTube channel – free illustrated audiobooks for kids of all abilities in English, Spanish, Bilingual and ASL!
My thanks to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and their terrific book, Big Questions, for inspiring this new series.
