The 2015 L4LL Día Blog Hop

I am happy to participate in the third annual L4LL Día Blog Hop. This blog hop is organized by http://latinas4latinolit.org to celebrate the literacy-focused event El día de los niños, el día de los libros (also known as Día.)

This year 12 U.S. Hispanic authors and illustrators will write about immersion on leading Latina blogs. The L4LL 2015 Día Blog Hop started on Monday, April 27th and it will continue all this week. You can click on the links to read Monday, Tuesday and Today’s articles.

Each day, three Latina blogs feature a different Latino author/illustrator as these artists explore this year’s theme of immersion and its impact on their work and life.

L4LL’s 2014 Día Blog Hop

by Monica Olivera 

from http://latinas4latinolit.org

Last year, Latinas for Latino Lit (L4LL) launched the first Día Blog Hop in honor of Día de los Niños, Día de los Libros which is celebrated annually on April 30th. Established in the United States by poet and author Pat Mora, Día is a celebration of books and children. Libraries and schools across the country recognize it by hosting their own events. (You can find a complete list of these events here on the official Día website.) 

This year, we are happy to announce that we have increased the number to two dozen Latino authors/illustrators paired with top Latina bloggers in comparison with last year’s 20! Starting here on our site on April 6th, a different author/illustrator will appear on a different blog, writing an original short article or creating an original illustration in support of Latino children’s literacy. The Día Blog Hop concludes on April 30th here on L4LL, culminating with a special announcement.

To follow along, here is a schedule of the participating blogs and the authors/illustrators with which they are paired. As each article goes live, I will be updating this schedule with a direct link. Bookmark this page for easy reference!
