Celebrate Children's Day Book Day/Celebremos El día de los niños/El día de los libros
Written by: Pat Mora
Illustrated by: Rafael Lopez
Elementary Grades
"Mora encourages teachers, parents, and librarians to celebrate Children's Day/Book Day (April 30th) and includes ideas for observing the festivities. Written in English and Spanish, the text shows children reading in a variety of places, going to the library, listening to stories, and enjoying books. López's acrylic illustrations fill the pages with color. His upbeat iconic style shows how much fun this celebration can be and portrays round-faced kids reading to a variety of pets and riding an elephant or sailing with a whale. Students will be encouraged to join in the book-based activities. This lively selection will motivate and excite children about the adventures they can go on through reading."
