The ability to communicate in Spanish creates a connection with millions of people and opens the doors to greater acceptance and understanding. Bringing this language into our homes through beautiful literature, art, and music, from so many different places, is a delightful way to learn and develop an appreciation for the cultures of others, while celebrating our own unique heritage too.
