Summer is nearly here, and with freer schedules, it's the perfect opportunity to foster cultural curiosity. When our children explore cultures through food, art, language and community, they begin to see the world with wider eyes.
Jalpa Vaidya Patel, LCSW, PPSC, is a mother, school social worker, adjunct professor and author of the forthcoming children’s picture book, “Wizzy the Worldly Tree.” Follow her work on Instagram @wizzysways .
No one teaches parents how to do this — so here's where we can start. 🌍
Ground. Ask. Celebrate.
This is how children grow up knowing they belong — and so does everyone else. 🌳
Coming soon! Wizzy the Worldly Tree w/ @soulsparkspress 📚

A student in my graduate social work class told me I needed to introduce myself a bit more. (thank you student! 😊)
So here I am — a school social worker, adjunct professor, and most importantly, a mom of two. What a special Mother's Day it is to see a dream coming alive. 🥰
My book Wizzy the Worldly Tree: A Tale of Cultural Curiosity comes this August and I cannot wait to share it with you. Thanks for being here 🌍📚🌸
