Kites! Kites! Kites! The students at Henry Ford Elementary (Pharr) in the Rio Grande Valley had a kite contest in honor of one of my books, Lupita’s Papalote (kite). The librarian initiated this wonderful project for my school visit. These homemade kites were all amazing. One that stood out was from a little girl from Guatemala (the kite with fringes).

While down in the Valley, the Reading Rock Stars was in progress. I was thrilled to meet for the very first time, Laura Lacamara, the illustrator of my book, Las Aguas Frescas de Alicia.
