The launch marks the beginning of CLC’s work in the Bay Area, bringing Chinese books, songs, movement, and shared reading experiences to more local families.

这次分部启动，也代表 CLC 将把中文绘本、儿歌律动和亲子共读带到更多东湾社区家庭身边。

The debut storytime will center on a beloved Chinese picture book.

The featured book for the first Chinese storytime will be Mr. Octopus Sells Umbrellas (《章鱼先生卖雨伞》). The program will also include music and movement, weather exploration, Halloween dress-up, and parent-child games.
