Even though our children know how to read, sometimes it is nice for us to read to them, and let them just enjoy. Sitting near them with a book in our hands, generating a special moment to learn and exchange opinions. Though you can do this with any book, what’s better than doing it with a biography? And even better, if that biography is about one of the most famous Hispanic artist. My suggestion is a children’s book about the work of Diego Rivera. And, for those of you who are lucky enough to be in NYC, the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) is showing an exhibition about Diego’s paintings and murals. The exhibition runs from November 12th 2011 through May 14th 2012. - Book: My Papá

For those of you who want your kids to explore Hispanic art, the daughter of the talented Mexican artist Diego Rivera, has published a bilingual book about his father’s work. The book not only shows his most famous paintings and murals, but also tells us a little bit about Diego’s ideologies, and teachings that he passed on to his daughter: if you work hard in what you love, then you can achieve your most dearest dreams. The book has pictures of the artist most famous jobs, and also many paintings about children, another passion that Diego used to have.
