Lil' Readers Storytime w/Carlos Matias & Parent Workshop by PBS Kids

Join us for a magical story time with author Carlos Matias as he shares his enchanting tale, "Emergency Quarters: Ernesto's Big Decision"!

About the book: 

Imagine being a niño grande, a big boy like Ernesto, finally old enough to walk the six blocks to school all by yourself. Each morning, Ernesto's mom gives him a shiny new quarter for emergencies only—she’s just a pay phone call away. But what happens when each day brings a new temptation? From crisp packs of baseball cards to hot tamales and juicy arcade games, Ernesto faces a daily dilemma with the coins jingling in his pocket. How will he choose to use them? Join us to find out!
