Discover a world of books, imagination, and creativity as publishers from Spain and Latin America bring their stories to life through interactive readings, hands-on art workshops, and activities for the whole family.
Explore Cuentos de Ciudad, an exhibition of classic and award-winning children’s book illustrations, and enjoy a special musical performance by the Tabatha Music Center Children’s Choir.
