Spanish Storytelling with a Nutritionist – HO-HO-KUS

January 27, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm EST

Free

Come meet with a children’s author and listen to her personal journey followed by a live storytelling session about her children’s book on making healthy lifestyle choices.  This event is suited for children ages 2 to 8 and is a great opportunity to expose children to the Italian language while learning a thing or two about the benefits of self care and smart daily habits that can propel a lifetime of good health.

This event is open to all language students at Gain Ville as the storytelling will be bilingual in Spanish/English.  Anyone familiar or curious about the Spanish language is also welcome to attend.  This is a free community-wide event.  If you are not a Gain Ville – Ho-Ho-Kus student, please reach out at info@gaincontact.com to RSVP and you will be added to our guest list!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 
Maria Gigante is a Nutritionist and Holistic Lifestyle Coach. She is a first-generation Italian American.  Her parents and grandparents immigrated to the USA in the 1970s. She and her younger brother were born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey. Maria’s early childhood was spent in her grandmother’s kitchen, cooking and eating food from her grand- parents’ tiny city garden and listening to Italian folk music while recounting stories of when her grandparents grew up during WWIl in Ortona A Mare, Abruzzo, Italy.  Maria’s traditional upbringing in a diverse city has molded her perspective on the importance of culture, lifestyle, and nutrition. She is fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish.  She also enjoys family time, preparing nourishing meals, fashion, swimming, hiking, music, and dancing.
