Celebrate language and identity at a free, family-friendly book launch with local author Ritu Anand—interactive reading and art for all ages
About this Event

Celebrate language, identity, and storytelling at a free, family-friendly book launch with local author and educator Ritu Anand. This special event is part of Suncoast Remake Learning Days and includes a live book reading, conversation with the author, and hands-on art and literacy activities for children.

I Am My Language is a joyful exploration of heritage, identity, and the power of mother tongues. Inspired by true events, the story celebrates children and families who choose to read, write, and speak the language that shapes who they are.

This event is open to all ages and welcomes multilingual families, educators, and anyone curious about how language connects us across generations. The book reading and activity instructions will be offered in both English and Spanish.

Event partners: Embracing Our Differences, Literacy Council of Sarasota, UnidosNow, and Suncoast Remake Learning Days.
