El día de los ninos/El día de los libros was over yesterday. But we will continue to promote books and literacy all year long. A few days ago, I was honored to help celebrate El Día at three Houston libraries and a pre-school center. After the readings, there were arts and crafts for the children, music by mariachis, and piñatas. It was a fun event! Here are a few pictures from the event.

By the way, my two newest books, Let’s Salsa and Lupita’s First Dance, made it to the “Top 50 Latino Childrens Books,” list on the Mamiverse blog.
