I just had the opportunity to check out this collection on RIF’s site. What a great way to share different cultures and experiences with your children! Wonderful resources!

From someone who works in the education field, I can say that this is a really an excellent list. The activities are great and very helpful when extending the experience after the book ends!

Hello,

At the Library where I work, I will be including in my contribution to our Reading Program a summary of how Carnival, Festival and Parades co-relate as a celebration of our cultural heritage.
One of our popular Author’s is Nunez who writes about Latino identity and perceptions.
