Today at Storytime, Ms. Blanca delighted our littles with two wonderful reads: Avocado Feels a Pit Worried and Taco Falls Apart by Brenda S. Miles.
After, the fun continued with a colorful craft—gluing tissue paper to create a festive piñata look for their Cinco de Mayo llamas.
Once everyone finished their masterpieces, it was BINGO TIME! Every little reader had the chance to win a prize from the C.R.I.T. Library’s Prize Treasure Chest, and the excitement was contagious.
It was a joyful, laughter‑filled morning from beginning to end. Until next time—Happy Reading!

We have been celebrating Week Of the Young Child here at the Colorado River Indian Tribes Library & Archives! Today is Work Together Wednesday. We read Little Blue Truck; the book is about a team of animals working together to get the Blue Truck and Dump truck out of the mud. After the story we teamed up; the littles, their guardians and myself, we made an Our Early Literacy Friendship Quilt with their beautiful art! 🖼️
The littles had dot markers, chalk, and foam paint to create masterpieces.
Thank you to all the participants today!
We will continue our Story Time and WYOC celebration tomorrow at the CRIT Library at 10:30 AM, hope to see you there!
