What We're Reading

Me

I've been fascinated to learn how the brain's executive function challenges many kids in school and at home.


The Big Kid

My daughter loved this so much, we read it aloud to the whole family. Then moved on to the next one.


The LIttle Kid

A wonderful story with great illustrations and an environmental message that's not preachy or scary.

Tartan Week: Celebrate Scotland with music, a parade and festival

Apr 3 2008

By mommy

HA! They totally got me. I guess a case of wishful reading. The band performing will be the Red Hot Chili PIPERS! Thanks MB for catching that one. Anyone who goes will still have a great time with Scottish music and check out the other Tartan Week events this weekend. YIKES! Sorry.

As part of a concert of traditional and contemporary Scottish music for Tartan Week, the Red Hot Chili Peppers PIPERS will be performing for free in the British Memorial Garden in Hanover Square. Also performing are MacTalla Mor and Pentland Caledonia Pipes and Drums.

This event has not been widely publicized and it's outdoors so there's a chance it won't be too crazy and you could enjoy some music that's not kid-centric for a change even with tykes in tow. Friday April 4, 5:30-6:30 Hanover Square in Lower Manhattan. Click here for directions.

For more Tartan fun, check out the Tartan Day Parade on Saturday and Ellis Island's family friendly Tartan Day celebration with Scottish dance, juggling, bag pipes, storytelling, drums and more on Sunday.
