We hope you’ll join us right here, on this blog, for Díapalooza, our 5th annual celebration and countdown to El día de los niños, El día de los libros/Children’s Day, Book Day on April 30. Throughout the month we’ll post about all things Día!

Over at Latinas for Latino Literature they’re getting ready for their second annual Día Blog Hop! Pat will kick off a month of blog posts by Latina/o authors and illustrators, with posts appearing on a range of literacy, culture and lifestyle blogs.

We’re issuing a call for photos to help create our 2014 Children’s Day/Book Day Celebrations video. We’re looking to collect photos of literacy-related activities from the many fiestas held throughout the country on or around April 30. Send photos (jpegs preferred) and/or links to Flickr pages or Facebook albums to webcontact@patmora.com.
