Día del Escritor – Day of the Writer

Cada 13 de junio se conmemora el Día del Escritor en honor al poeta Argentino Leopoldo Lugones quien nació el 13 de junio, de 1874 en Villa María del Río Seco, en la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. Entre muchas de sus obras, Lugones fundó la Sociedad Argentina de Escritores (SADE) que, luego del suicidio del poeta, estableció el día de su natalicio como el Día del Escritor.

Mi Lapicero

Mi lápiz

Danza ligeramente

Con lindos giros

Para una invisible audiencia

Excepto por...

¡Felicidades a todos los escritores

y a los que desean algún día emprender esta misión!

Testimonials:

From Janet Balletta

My first graders were having trouble sharing and getting along so we read Grandma's Treasure by Maritza M. Mejia and did the post reading activity. Later the children told me they were sorry for arguing with each other over their things. I think they captured the main idea.smile emoticon

Lessons for Living received recognition worldwide

A year ago, Grandma's Treasure and Vanilla and Chocolate received recognition at the International Book Fair FILBO2017 with an interview with the talented and generous journalist Eli Alvarez, La Cotri Cotrina. ¡Thank you for your support!

Bilingual Literature Lessons for Living from Bogotá 2017, to New York 2018

with reading activity at Iglesia de Sion-Saint Peter Church in New York, NY.

Building Gratitude with Grandma's Treasure

...Children's Books Should Be says,

“Children’s Book Should Be…” is a well written tool for any author who wants to write a children book. Lisa Waters not only explains how a children’s book should be, but also gives credit to diverse children’s book authors and explains their writing’s style. Waters defines in each chapter the elements of a good children book. According to the author a children’s book should be fun, engaging, life-changing, creative/imaginative, action-packed, spellbinding, lasting, and cute. I highly recommend this valuable book.

Thank you Author Lisa Waters!
