March 8th is International Women's Day and it can means different things. For some, it's a day to celebrate, for others it's a call to action, a day of activism for the struggle for equality. No matter the objective, International Women's Day is the perfect moment to recognize and value the effort of women in society, family, church and work.
My favorite reading for Women's Day is For the Right to Learn: Malala Yousafzai’s Story written by Rebecca Langston-George and illustrated by Janna Bock. The words and illustrations work together in harmony to tell the story of a young teenage girl whose courage has become legendary.
“One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen
can change the world. ”
-Malala Yousafzai-
Happy International Women’s Day!
Día Internacional de la Mujer
El 8 de marzo es el Día Internacional de la mujer y puede tener diversos significados. Para algunos, es un día para celebrar, para otros es un llamado a la acción, es un día para el activismo por la lucha por la igualdad. No importa el objetivo, el día internacional de la mujer es el momento perfecto para reconocer y valorar el esfuerzo de las mujeres en la sociedad, familia, iglesia y trabajo. Yo lo celebro, como escritora, promoviendo la
literatura bilingüe.
"Un niño, un maestro, un libro y un bolígrafo pueden cambiar el mundo." ~Malala Yousafzai ~
