Episcopal mission honors Dr. Seuss legacy
For more than 70 years, Dr. Seuss's whimsical stories have fascinated children around the world.
El Buen Samaritano Episcopal Mission in South Austin celebrated "Dr. Seuss Week" to give young children the chance to experience American literature.
Rev. Ed Gomez of El Buen Samaritano said honoring Dr. Seuss is an effort to help young children acclimate to the United States.
"We want to teach them about what are the American popular literature that's going to be part of their upbringing and culture, so that these children – children of immigrants – come and acclimate to the U.S. will be able to successfully deal with and understand the different aspects of literature," he said.
Some local lawmakers read "Green Eggs and Ham" and "The Cat and the Hat" to the children at the mission.
In addition, the 2 to 4-year-olds got a special breakfast, a chance to try their very own green eggs and ham.
