With the blue Dallas skyline shining in the background, Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis joyfully held up a children’s book in a pre-recorded video and virtually read to children Thursday afternoon at Rosemont Elementary in Dallas.
Organizers said the young students anticipated the event all week long and were thrilled to have a Spanish-speaking Dallas Mavericks check in on students and virtually visit their classroom.
“I’m excited to have you all join me in a quick reading timeout,” Porzingis told the youth, as he smiled and laughed along with the book.
Students received their own copy of the book titled, “El Perro con Sombrero: A Bilingual Doggy Tale,” and they followed along as Porzingis read the book to them.
