[Lead] Celebrating Día (El día de los niños/El día de los libros) April 30





El día de los niños/El día de los libros, April 30


Dear LEAD NetRoots members and affiliates,

El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Day of the Child/Day of the Book) is a celebration based on childhood and literacy that began in 1997. Borrowing from the traditional Mexican holiday "El día de los niños," the American version expanded to include literacy when acclaimed author Pat Mora took up the cause in 1997. A year later, the U.S. Congress officially designated April 30 as "Day of the Child." 

This year, our LEAD Partner First Book will be accepting submissions for the Estela and Raúl Mora Award starting 5/2/16.  The award will be limited to school-based and school-led Día celebrations, and the winner will receive $1,000 in resources from the First Book Marketplace. There will also be two honor awards of $500 in First Book Marketplace credit each. We appreciate your help spreading the word and sharing bookjoy!
 
Saludos y mil gracias por ayudarnos a celebrar el vigésimo aniversario de Día!
