Hispanic Heritage Month--Author Yuyi Morales
As part of our school's study of Hispanic Heritage Month, I have created a literary display in the Media Center. This display features books by Hispanic authors/illustrators and books that teach about an aspect of Hispanic culture. To encourage students to check out these wonderful books, I am offering an incentive--free books! All a student needs to do is read one of these fabulous books and then tell me a few things about the book (using this form). If they return the form to me by Oct. 27th, they will be entered into a drawing to win a free book that supports our study of Hispanic cultures!
One of my favorite author/illustrators is the award winning artist Yuyi Morales. The happy skeleton to the left is the main character from her book, Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book. Watch the video below to hear Yuyi talk about the inspiration for creating this lively Day of the Dead story.
