I am SO proud of my library! We had Matt De la Pena visit us last September for our Library in the Park event and we somehow coerced him into reading his book on a city bus while we acted it out! He did AND he let us film it! Its AWESOME! Please share it far and wide with all of your young readers who love his book!
