About Día del Niño

Since 1925, Día del Niño, or Children’s Day, has grown as an annual celebration throughout Mexico. This day celebrates children, recognizes their importance in society, and promotes their well-being. After learning about Mexico’s tradition of celebrating April 30 as el Día del Niño, children’s book author Pat Mora helped create a new holiday in the United States emphasizing the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds, linking families to diverse books, languages and cultures.
