Word Up welcomes children’s book author Apolonia Valiente for an interactive weekend storytime featuring The Words Will Come, a picture book for ages 3–7 that celebrates all the ways children communicate.

Kids will engage through movement, observation, and choice, making the storytime welcoming for every communication style. Caregivers will leave with ideas to support and celebrate their children’s voices.

This storytime is especially meaningful during Autism Awareness Month (April) and Speech & Language Development Month, highlighting inclusion, empathy, and understanding for young learners.

Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your joy — this storytime is for every child and caregiver ready to explore connection, patience, and the power of listening.  Learn more at open_in_newwww.avstorytime.com and follow @av_storytime on Instagram.
