"What a gift your performance was this morning for our school community! Your messages about kindness, similarities, community, happiness, and your passion for your craft were so inspiring. This was a wonderful way to begin our day. Your impact will be felt well beyond the hour we spent with you."
-Darlene, Teacher Leader, Live Oaks Elementary School

Description

Antonio Rocha (Rocha is pronounced Haw-Sha) presents enriching stories from different cultures which are gifts for the heart while adding sustenance to our minds. This culturally diverse show, still presented with Antonio's unique voices, moves and sound effects, not only entertains but also teaches how cultural diversity enriches the world and makes it into the fascinating planet we live in.

Teachers are encouraged to let Antonio know if they are studying a particular culture so that Antonio can include that part of the world in the show. Mr. Rocha has traveled to 40 countries across 6 continents and brings a well-rounded approach about our beautiful planet to all ages.
