El día de los niños/
El día de los libros—Celebrating Children and Books
Established in 1996, El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day) is the creation of award-winning author and poet Pat Mora. Her idea was inspired by El día del niño (Children's Day), a celebration that originated in 1925 after the first World Conference for the Well-being of Children and is observed throughout Latin America. Now adopted by schools and libraries throughout the United States, as well, April 30 marks a special day to remember and honor the joys and wonders of childhood and acknowledge the importance of books, which was Mora's original mission.
