Like many parents, one of my biggest concerns a year into this pandemic has been: Are my children learning anything? How can I help them survive Zoom meetings when I am Zoomed-out myself? And, the bigger question haunting me: Do they even enjoy learning anymore?

Our family discovered Encantos as we scrambled to find new ways to engage our then-4 and 7-year-olds. Between boxes of arts and crafts and preparing for holidays like Halloween months in advance, we were running out of ideas. Encantos' Tiny Travelers series of books and worksheets came to our rescue.

For a few moments each day, my children can be transported to countries like Egypt to learn about the Nile River, the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx. They learned to make morir soñando, a very delicious drink from the Caribbean islands. And they are rediscovering their Indian heritage by learning how to write in Sanskrit, about the origins of yoga and that Ganesh is the Hindu god of wisdom, success and good luck.
