You are listening to Beyond a Bedtime Story the podcast with your host Emily.

In this episode of Beyond a Bedtime Story the Podcast I will discuss my experiences growing up in a bicultural family, review the multilingual alphabet book A is for Bee by Ellen Heck, and explain how my bicultural identity has impacted decisions as an author. 

Segment 1: Bilingual? Barely 

Hi, Welcome back, I’m your host Emily, and you’re listening to Beyond a Bedtime Story: A Parent’s Guide to Children’s Reading! With this episode you’ll be one step closer to taking your bedtime stories to the next level, so let’s get into it! 

Today, my podcast is inspired by my childhood, growing up in a bicultural family as a Colombian American. 

My mom immigrated here from Colombia when she was 10. My dad is white and has always lived in NJ. 

Segment 2: Book review  

Alright, I’m back and ready to dive in! Now, instead of referring to specific page numbers, I’ll be identifying page numbers by letter, as this is an alphabet book. So, as always, if you have the book, definitely feel free to follow along

I don’t have a rigid set of strategies for this book as I feel the content’s importance speaks for itself.
