Abstract | After a successful career as a writer for adults, Pat Mora began creating books for children. Her first picture book, "Tomas and The Library Lady" (Knopf, 1997) is a tender story of a young migrant worker who unearths new worlds when he discovers the magic a public library holds. The text, cleverly interspersed with foreign words, became a trademark of Pat's writing. "Quien habla dos lenguas vale por dos/If you speak two languages, your value is doubled," she says. In addition to writing, Pat is founder and an active force behind Children's Day/Book Day ("El dia de los ninos/El dia de los libros"), celebrated annually on April 30. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Pat's efforts to promote literacy for all children to honor home languages and culture. (ERIC). |
