"We had the pleasure of listening to Lili share about her books during her presentation at our school. Lili shared some of her art work and illustrations with the students, and they were absolutely hooked! We also learned a variety of different words in Spanish, French and Italian - a great way for our students to be immersed in different cultures. Lili had our 4th through 8th graders end with an interactive dance, too! The joy on our students faces were contagious, and I know they'll be talking about this presentation for quite some time! Thank you!"

Liliana's presentation was a treat! Students and teachers interacted with the author throughout! The music was familiar and new! Students made connections and demonstrated learning through song and dance. The room was filled with raised hands, smiles, and inquisitive children. In summary, this author visit was engaging, captivating, and so enjoyable!!.....What the author didn't see was Kindergarteners who came back to the classroom eager to learn more about other countries and traditions, and children who were eager to write!!"

During a school visit, the Bambini were coloring while listening to an Italian song, Santa Lucia, sung by Liliana's 10-year-old nephew.
What Italian word do you think the students are saying? You are correct if you said Gelato - Ice Cream! Try it with your kids - It's fun!
