Virtual -

Thursday, September 24
8:00pm - 9:00pm

Únete a nosotros para una enérgica conversación mientras celebramos la alegría de la comunidad y la diversión del verano con Lucky Diaz, autor del sensacional libro ilustrado bilingüe, Paletero Man.

La duración de este evento será de 30 minutos.

Agarra un puñado de monedas y prepárate para bailar por la calle. Únete a nosotros para una enérgica conversación mientras celebramos la alegría de la comunidad y la diversión del verano con Lucky Diaz, músico ganador del premio Latin GRAMMY y autor del sensacional libro ilustrado bilingüe, Paletero Man.

¿Cuál es la mejor manera de refrescarse en un caluroso día de verano? ¡Corre rápido y encuentra al Paletero José!

Sigue a nuestro narrador mientras recorre su ajetreado vecindario en busca del Paletero Man. Pero cuando finalmente lo alcanza, los bolsillos de nuestro narrador están vacíos. ¡Oh no! ¿Qué pasó con su dinero? Se necesitará la ayuda de toda la comunidad para conseguir la sabrosa golosina ahora.

Inspirada en los vibrantes ritmos de Los Ángeles y la exitosa canción de Diaz, esta hermosa historia invita a los lectores a un vecindario bañado por el sol donde el sonido de una campana significa que la mejor golosina del día está a la vuelta de la esquina.

¡Regístrate hoy y descubre cómo todos podemos aportar un poco más de dulzura y espíritu comunitario a nuestra vida diaria!

 

Ten en cuenta que presentaremos a Lucky Diaz dos veces en esta fecha, una en español y otra en inglés. Asegúrate de registrarte para el formato que prefieras.

 

Acerca del autor:

Lucky Diaz es un artista ganador del premio GRAMMY, multi-ganador del premio Latin GRAMMY, aclamado autor y una voz líder en la literatura infantil contemporánea. Compositor nominado seis veces al premio Emmy y ex alumno de Berklee College of Music, Diaz hizo historia como el primer artista infantil norteamericano en ganar un Latin GRAMMY. Su trabajo une música y narración, creando un cuerpo distintivo de trabajo bilingüe arraigado en la vida cultural de las comunidades mexicano-americanas en Los Ángeles.

Como autor, Diaz ha obtenido algunos de los más altos honores en el mundo editorial. Sus libros han recibido reseñas destacadas de Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly y Booklist, lo que lo sitúa entre un raro grupo de creadores reconocidos en todas las principales publicaciones literarias. Su título revelación Paletero Man recibió una estrella de Kirkus y una distinción de audiolibro y fue galardonado con el Premio Alma Flor Ada 2024 por su contribución duradera a la narración centrada en los latinos. También ha recibido el Parent’s Choice Gold Award y un NAPPA Award, lo que reconoce aún más su impacto en el público familiar.

Su último libro, Fix-It Familia, sigue generando reconocimiento nacional, con una edición en español que llegará este verano, ampliando el acceso a lectores bilingües y aulas en todo el país.

El trabajo de Diaz ha sido presentado y elogiado por NPR, Billboard, The New York Times y People Magazine, lo que lo posiciona como una voz creativa confiable en la intersección de la cultura, la música y la literatura.

A través de sus libros, grabaciones y presentaciones con Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band, Diaz continúa ampliando las posibilidades de la narración estadounidense. No solo está contribuyendo al campo. Está ayudando a definirlo.
