¡Bienvenido a RIF!

Community Day at FESTIBA, (Festival of International Books and Arts) at the University of Texas-Pan American was a showcase of Reading Is Fundamental in action. Macy’s Partners In Time volunteers came to read to the children and create sombreros and maracas tied to the story, J.D. Smith’s The Best Mariachi in the World. RIF staff engaged hundreds of kids and their parents with bilingual read-alouds and beautiful new books. Volunteers from Congressman Rubén Hinojosa to children’s book authors came to the RIF tent to celebrate the community and the day.
