Join us in welcoming children's book author Alexandra Alessandri to the Spanish River Library to celebrate Children's Book Week! She will read her newest book, "Isabel and Her Colores Go to School," which won the gold medal in Young Children's Literature in the 2021 Florida Book Awards. The author's presentation will be followed by a small craft.

About the book: English, with its blustery blues and whites, just feels wrong to Isabel. She prefers the warm oranges and pinks of Spanish. As she prepares for class at a new school, she knows she's going to have to learn -- and she would rather not! Her first day is uncomfortable, until she discovers there's more than one way to communicate with friends. This is a universal story about feeling new and making new friends.

This program, part of the Library's 2022 initiative, Cultural Connections, was funded by Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library.

Recommended for ages 4 and up. Enrollment is recommended.
