Happy
Tuesday everyone! It is the
beginning of exciting week here at your local neighborhood bookstore as we get
ready for this Saturday. What is happening this
Saturday
you ask? We are having our 4th Annual East Harlem Children’s Book Festival,
celebrating El día del niño/ El día del libro. In a prelude to this magnificent
annual event we will be reviewing Book Fiesta!: Celebrate Children’s Day/
Book Day; El día del niño/ El día del libro by Pat Mora, illustrated Rafael
Lopez.
In
Book Fiesta! we see the many places and ways that books can be read.
From a hot air balloon to the mouth of a whale, reading with our friends or our
pets or even to the moon, Pat Mora demonstrates in her book what the pure
essence of book joy. Paired with bright and colorful illustrations by Rafael
Lopez, this book is essential for anyone who wants to give a child a book that
demonstrates the amazing joyful experience that occurs when we read.
Think
this is a great book? Make sure to keep an eye for it and other great finds in
our children’s section.
Don’t forget to check out our 4th Annual East
Harlem Children’s Book Festival this Saturday from 11am to 4pm with readings by
Sonia Manzano, Carla Torres, John Parra, Yadhira Gonzalez-Taylor as well as
presentations by Acopladitos and Fraternidad Cultural Pasion Boliviana.
