Costa Ricans celebrate everything. There are so many special days and I love it. Recently, the schools celebrated Día Del Libro or Book Day which recognizes the importance of books and reading in the development and enrichment in a childs life.
Most schools celebrate in the usual way where kids dress up as a favorite book character and maybe have a day in recognition of a few important books that have shaped society.
My Kids high school went just a bit further and made a whole project out of the celebration of books. Each class had to choose a book, research the characters, choose the theme and then present to their families and peers.
I was transported to middle earth, visited Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry; witnessed the battle first hand of Narnia, stayed at the House of Dracula and watched the Phantom of the Opera. It was a day to remember and it was about books and the love we all share for them.
