Linda Letra Bilingual Books in Portland, Ore., and the FLIP Museum in Hillsboro, Ore., have launched a partnership for the holiday season. The Hillsboro Herald Community News reported that the bookshop, which specializes in Spanish and bilingual literature for children, will operate a pop-up store at the museum from Black Friday to New Year's Eve.
Rachel Kimbrow, the bookshop's owner, and museum executive director Jack Graham said they are hopeful the holiday pop-up will turn into a long-term partnership, supporting multilingual and Spanish literacy in conjunction with exploration, creativity, and fun found at the FLIP Museum.
Kimbrow, who has 20 years of classroom experience in both the U.S. and Latin America, founded Linda Letra Bilingual Books in 2022 as an extension of her dedication to equity through literacy. Her bricks-and-mortar location opened in 2023 at 7101 NE Glisan St. in Portland.
