Events › Bibim Together's Bilingual Story Time & Cooking Adventure

Join us on Saturday, May 17, at 3 p.m. for the fourth Bibim Together Hindi Bilingual Story Time and Cooking Adventure at the West Roxbury branch Boston Public Library. Developmental Psychologist and Educator Ritika Rastogi will delight families by reading The Light Within You by Namita Moolani Mehra in both Hindi and English, bringing the story’s themes of inner strength and cultural heritage to life.

We will also have a chance to hear from youth leader Navya Bhimani who will join Ritika to share their personal experiences growing up as Indian Americans, exploring how language, family traditions, and identity shape their journeys. Then, inspired by the story, children and caregivers will roll up their sleeves to make coconut ladoo, a sweet and simple Indian treat that’s perfect for little hands.

This free event is ideal for the whole families with children ages 4-10 — and space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot by emailing Miss Annette at adiola@bpl.org with the names of the adult and children attendees. 

Registration Details:

• Families must register as a group (maximum: two adult caregivers and three children).

Come read, cook, eat, and create special memories with us. We look forward to seeing you there!
