Sabados en Familia at Milwood Branch Library

Sábados en Familia is a free kids’ cultural arts and crafts program delivered by the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican-American Cultural Center. The program takes place at libraries all over Austin. Families with kids of all ages can participate for free. A craft project follows the read-along.

On May 10th, we will read The Dream Catcher by Marcelo Verdad. Some people dream of perfect waves, fancy castles, or piloting a plane. Others dream of someone to laugh and play with all day long. Some just dream of having a meal for the next day. And little Miguel? As he and Abuelito work in the hot Oaxacan sun, selling cold coconuts and macrame dream catchers to earn a few coins, Miguel has only one simple wish—to have his parents by his side. But how can he keep the faith when the truth is that dreams don’t always come to pass? Participants will create their own Suncatchers to keep their dreams alive and bright!
