Storytime: Good Morning 

Buenos Días

Visitors enjoy Storytime in the National Gallery's East Building. 

Let’s play together while reading aloud the children’s book Good Morning / Buenos Días written by Meritxell Martí and illustrated by Xavier Salomó in English and Spanish. We welcome all ages, especially our youngest visitors and nursing parents.

We will gather our play group at the entrance of our East Building and we will get settled in the Atrium with a special book and other creative ways to play. We will read the story twice. Storytime is free of charge and there is no registration.

You’re welcome to park strollers at coat check. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Storytime takes place the first Friday and Saturday of the month with a new book to enjoy.

Juguemos juntos mientras leemos un libro en voz alta en inglés y en español. Invitamos a personas de todas las edades, especialmente a nuestros visitantes más jóvenes, así como a padres y madres lactantes.

Nos reuniremos con el grupo en la entrada del Edificio Este y nos acomodaremos en el atrio con un libro especial y otras actividades creativas. La hora de cuentos es una actividad gratuita. No hay que inscribirse.

Se pueden aparcar los cochecitos en el guardarropa en la entrada del edificio. Los niños deben estar acompañados de un adulto.

A young boy with pink and tan-colored skin stands next to a seated woman with an ashen white face, and both look out at us in this vertical portrait painting. The scene is created with broad areas of mottled color in rust and coral red, pale pink, lilac purple, ivory white, and shades of tawny brown. The eyes of both people are heavily outlined with large, dark pupils. To our right, the woman’s pale, oval face is surrounded by a muted, mint-green cloth that covers her hair and wraps across her neck. Her eyes are outlined with charcoal gray, and her heavy lids shaded under arched brows with smoky, plum purple. She has a straight nose, and her burgundy-red lips are closed in a straight line. Her long, rose-pink dress is lavender purple below the knee, and is scrubbed with darker pink strokes across her lap. Her sleeves are tan on the upper arms and cream white on the forearm, over two blush-pink forms that represent her hands resting on her thighs. Along the top of her shoulders, her dress is terracotta red. A rectangular, fog-gray form behind her could be a chair or a half-wall, the top edge of which is higher to our right of her head. To our left, the boy has dark brown, short hair over putty pink, protruding ears. The area between his eyelid and arched brow is filled in with chocolate brown, giving his staring eyes a hooded look. His jawline, chin, and lips are outlined with dark brown. His khaki-brown, knee-length coat has pale, rose-pink sleeves and a black collar. An area of pale, ice blue could be a kerchief or high-collared shirt, and he wears fawn-brown pants. One of his slippers is coffee brown and the other, closer to the woman, is slate gray. He holds a loosely painted, pale, turquoise-blue object in one hand at his waist. The pair are situated against a background painted in areas of coral, ruby, crimson, and wine red. Two vertical, concrete-gray strips behind the boy and woman could be columns. The floor along the bottom edge of the painting is pale pink.
