Zoo siab Hnub Sib Hlub!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I love you. I miss you. You are my friend. Be mine. Sweets. These English words for this American holiday are ubiquitous. Taught in every classroom to children across America annually. What this means is that by the time most Americans graduate from high school they have been exposed to these words for 15 years of their life. Every American knows what to say and what to do on Valentine’s Day in English.

So what do we know from this experience? Part of learning a language is the behaviors, traditions and sayings we associate with our lived experiences. Valentine’s Day comes once a year. And every year, we know it’s about red and the love we give to people.

So here you go. Here are some Hnub Sib Hlub coloring pages and cards to send to those we love. And don’t forget to check out the new Kev Sib Hlub book and resources.

And if you missed it, check out my Zoo Siab Xyoo Tshiab 2022 for some additional fun coloring.
