Día 2024
Celebrate family, culture, and reading on Día. El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day) occurs on April 30 and honors the work that families do to connect children of all backgrounds to books in different languages and stories from different cultures.
Enjoy some of these titles, part of a larger Día curation from the Association for Library Service to Children. If any of them spur an interest in shoring up your world language skills, give Mango Languages a try.
