In what promises to be a blend of education and celebration, families are encouraged to come together for a free event that will encapsulate the spirit and legacy of Selena. Known for iconic hits like 'Dreaming of You' and 'Como La Flor,' Selena’s music still resonates across generations, making this event perfect for both little ones and adults looking to introduce her influential music and story to their children.

Selena’s life was a colorful tapestry woven with success, determination, and the relentless pursuit of a dream – a captivating narrative suitable for fueling young imaginations. Storytime at Theatre Square will immerse attendees in Selena's journey, told through engaging storytelling that is bound to leave foot-tapping and smiles abound.

While the event is as much about storytelling as it is a celebration of cultural heritage, it also serves as a gentle reminder of Selena's impact on music and the Latinx community. Her legacy is not just of her music, but of her role as a trailblazer for Latinas in the entertainment industry, an inspiring takeaway for all who join the festivities.

As family-friendly as it is enlightening, this is not just another storytime.
