Before a child takes a first step, the learning has already begun. Research shows that babies who hear songs, stories, and affirmations from birth build stronger language skills, deepen bonds with caregivers, and develop a lasting love of learning.

Join Birthing the Magic Collaborative and Book Harvest for a one-time workshop that celebrates oral traditions and early literacy. We will explore how lullabies, cultural storytelling, and books nurture brain development and support emotional well-being. Every family will leave with free, age appropriate books to start or grow a home library.

This session is for the people who shape the earliest days of a child’s life: parents seeking practical tools, grandparents guiding with wisdom, doulas preparing families, and the nurses and doctors who serve as trusted messengers. Reserve your spot and help the youngest learners thrive.

Birthing the Magic Collaborative is partnering with Book Harvest to host this event.
