Gladys Elizabeth Barbieri from Chucho’s Books, a bilingual children’s author and educator, is Pretend City’s guest for this September’s reading extravaganza. Gladys will share her award winning books with children. Gladys loves reading her stories so she can inspire children and others to get the reading bug. Gladys’ books will inspire little children and adults to be kind, thoughtful and compassionate. Visit Pretend City to hear Rubber Shoes: A Lesson In Gratitude and Pink Fire Trucks and participate in the corresponding activity.
