Join us next Sunday, April 19, at 8:00 p.m. ET for an #NCTEchat focusing on the joy of reading in celebration of Children’s Day, Book Day (April 30 & every other day).
Founded by author and poet Pat Mora, Children’s Day, Book Day is a year-long commitment celebrating the importance of bookjoy. It was inspired by the Mexican traditional holiday El día del niño (The Day of the Child), which prompted Mora to think, “We have Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We need a kids’ day too, but I want to connect all children with bookjoy, the pleasure of reading.”
The following questions will be shared during the Twitter chat, after introductions:
