¡Festejando Día! Celebrating Diversity in Action!

On April 30 join niños (children) all over the country for El día de los niños/el día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), also known as Día. When author Pat Mora heard that many countries observed Children's Day on April 30, she brilliantly decided to include books, culture, heritage and language to give us a new holiday to disfrutar (enjoy).

Celebra (celebrate) Día every day! Browse Día's website for some great resources and information. Bring the whole familia (family) to join the fun at one of CPL's Día events around the city.

Let reading become a part of your daily life with libros (books) rich in culture and diversity. Some of our favorites en casa (at home) for younger children came from this Día booklist.

¡Hola! Hello! Carmelita's neighborhood is bursting with different cultures. Join her as she says ni hao, jambo and bonjour on a walk to Abuela (grandma) Rosa's house. How do you Say Hello!?

Follow the fun in The Neighborhood Sing-along as you sing some classic and new songs all through the city.

Browse the beautiful photographs in What We Wear to see what children all over the world wear to celebrate or just play. What do you wear every day or when you dress up?

Lola Loves Stories and they spark her imagination to be many things and go places. Read more of Lola and her family to share in their love for books and the library.

This list wouldn't be complete without Pat Mora's Book Fiesta! Whether you read at the library, in a car or while riding an elephant in English, Spanish or Chinese, as long as you're reading, the fiesta (party) never ends.

What books will you be reading for Día?
