Spanish-Language Support

To ensure every student and educator can fully engage in the experience, When I See Me™ offers Spanish-language support as an optional add-on for author visits.
A Spanish-speaking educator can be available during the session to:
  • Translate read-alouds, discussions, and Q&A sessions in real time

  • Foster inclusion and connection among diverse classrooms
This service ensures that all children — regardless of language — can see themselves, hear themselves, and celebrate their stories.
