Thank you for reading Arthur’s First Sinterklaas. I hope you enjoyed following Arthur as he discovered one of Belgium’s most cherished traditions and learned a few Dutch words along the way!

I wrote this story to help children and families experience the magic of Sinterklaas while celebrating the joy of learning through more than one language. Whether you’re new to Belgium, raising multilingual children, or simply curious about Dutch traditions, this page is here to help you continue the adventure.

Below you’ll find a collection of free resources, including a read-aloud video, pronunciation guides, and classroom materials to help bring Arthur’s story to life. I hope they inspire plenty of conversations, curiosity and confidence as children explore new words, new traditions and new ways of belonging.

Happy reading!
