Come Join us as we read "Piper Chen Sings" by Phiillipa Soo. Then create a colorful butterfly to take home with you! Each child will receive a free copy of the book to enjoy at home.
October 24th is Jumpstart’s Read for the Record Day in Broward County and beyond! It is the world’s largest shared reading experience to celebrate children’s early language and social-emotional development. This year’s selected book is Piper Chen Sings written by Phillipa Soo and illustrated by Qin Leng. This is a story about a young girl who loves to express herself through singing but is struck with self-doubt and nervousness when asked to perform a solo in front of an audience. Piper tells her Nai Nai that she felt “like butterflies were having a dance party” in her belly; she doesn’t feel she can sing in front of others without making a mistake. Thankfully, Nai Nai teaches Piper that feeling butterflies means “something exciting was ahead” and that recognizing and welcoming that anxious feeling would help it pass. Nai Nai’s advice empowers Piper, who finds her voice on stage.
Children must be accompanied by their parent or caregiver.
