El día de los niños/El día de los libros
Today’s post about El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day) comes to you in English and in Spanish and was written by Susan. She is a factotum of extreme importance in editorial and helps out with Club Leo amomg many other things.El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day) is a daily celebration of children and literacy that culminates every year on April 30. This celebration emphasizes the importance of providing books to children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and making reading an important part of their lives. Here are a few books featured in our Club Leo catalog that are perfect for celebrating El día de los niños/El día de los libros.
Inspire kids to love books with Leonid Gore’s The Wonderful Book. The animals in the forest come across a lost book and wonder what it could be. A hat? A house? Finally, a boy comes along and reads the story aloud to the animals, and all agree that it is wonderful! This imaginative and original tale has lovely watercolor illustrations that will delight both children and adults.Share a love of language and culture with Rachel Isadora’s Say Hello! The vibrant collage illustrations portray a rich diversity of people and cultures that children will love to explore along with Carmelita as she walks around her neighborhood. Carmelita says hello in Spanish, English, French, Japanese, and many other languages. This picture book provides a great introduction to the joy of language.
Hello World! by Manja Stojic is another wonderful picture book that emphasizes the joys of language and diversity. This book teaches readers how to say “hello” in 43 different languages! Each page features a painting of a child from a different part of the world and a greeting in a different language. Each greeting is spelled phonetically, so that you can pronounce it correctly. This book promotes a love of language and encourages young readers to appreciate cultures around the world!A great way to celebrate El día de los niños/El día de los libros is to read a bilingual story, like Caperucita Roja/Little Red Riding Hood, the Club Leo $1 book in March. This is a classic tale that always delights. You can also get it as part of the Bilingual Tales Complete Set (18 books), available in Club Leo all year.
Happy Children’s Day/Book Day! Celebrate by reading your favorite book—or finding a new one to share with others!
