A Night of Bilingual Cuentos

On the evening of January 26, REFORMA held its Noche De Cuentos, a night of bilingual stories and cuentos from local storytellers at the Seattle Public Library. Noche de Cuentos (A Night of Stories) is a REFORMA family literacy initiative celebrated all year round, but especially during the week of the spring equinox, March 18- 25, in conjunction with World Storytelling Day. The event aims to celebrate the rich history and tradition of storytelling. Our featured storytellers included:
