BOOK FIESTA
Review by Ariadna Sánchez
¡Estas son las mañanitas
Que cantaba el Rey David
a todas las niñas y niños
Aquí en La Bloga te
Celebramos a ti!
In Many Latin American countries, but specifically Mexico, people celebrate El Día del Niño on April 30th (The day of the Child). Fun activities are held to honor the youngest members of the Mexican society since early morning until the moon appears with her bright light over the starry sky.
Children around the world deserve the very best education, opportunities, and services in order to develop their full potential. By linking books to El Día del Niño celebration, the children of México and other parts of the world are engaged with literacy while having fun.
Book Fiesta! is a bilingual picture book written by award-winning author Pat Mora and majestically illustrated by Rafael López. Pat Mora’s exquisite text invites families to read books and enjoy its benefits while riding aboard a train, floating in a hot-air balloon or sailing with a whale. Reading is a magical journey towards success! Mora is the founder of the family literacy initiative El día de los niños/ El día de los libros; Children’s Day/ Book Day, now housed by the American Library Association (ALA).
Book Fiesta! brings families together to embrace friendship, culture and literature. Reading one book at a time creates a strong community of readers.
¡Felicidades Niñas y Niños!
