Thank you for your response. I am planning an event in Puerto Rico around the launch of a book I am publishing that is Englih/Spanish for the month of October and wanted to have 'Celebrate the Bilingual child month' be a focal point. Now that I know it's origin, I can include more in my plans. Thank you again. Joy Delgado Laughing Zebra children books A division of J.O.Y.

October is listed as Celebrating the Bilingual Child Month in Chase's Calendar of Events (the standard reference of holidays, events and anniversaries) . It was initiated by Language Lizard several years ago as a month to recognize the many children who speak two or more languages and understand multiple cultures. By officially establishing this "holiday", we hope people will celebrate children who are learning (or speak) more than one language and see them as a wonderful asset to this country. We (and others) have used this month as a springboard to write about and encourage early language learning, bilingualism and maintenance of heritage languages.
