About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the magic of reading or when your child is beginning to explore their own cultural identity. It is a vibrant, bilingual tribute to Children's Day/Book Day (El día de los niños/El día de los libros) that emphasizes how stories can be enjoyed anywhere and by everyone. The book follows children as they read in whimsical locations, from the backs of elephants to cozy corners at home, reinforcing that literacy is a joyful, communal celebration. Through Pat Mora's poetic prose and Rafael Lopez's radiant illustrations, children aged 4 to 8 will see reading not as a chore, but as a bridge that connects families, cultures, and imagination. It is an ideal choice for fostering a sense of belonging and pride in bilingual households or for introducing young readers to the beauty of the Spanish language and Latino heritage.
