Join us for an energetic conversation as we celebrate the joy of community and summer fun with Latin Grammy-winner Lucky Diaz, author of the sensational bilingual picture book, "Paletero Man."
What’s the best way to cool off on a hot summer day? Run quick and find Paletero José!
Follow along with our narrator as he passes through his busy neighborhood in search of the Paletero Man. But when he finally catches up with him, our narrator’s pockets are empty. Oh no! What happened to his dinero? It will take the help of the entire community to get the tasty treat now.
Inspired by the vibrant rhythms of Los Angeles and Diaz’s own hit song, this beautiful story invites readers into a sun-drenched neighborhood where the ring of a bell means the best treat of the day is just around the corner. Discover how we can all bring a little more sweetness and community spirit into our daily lives!
Please note that we will be hosting Lucky Diaz twice on this date, once in English and in Spanish. Be sure to register for your preferred format.
This program will be recorded.
