Aldine ISD to Host Bookworm Festival 2023 on February 4; Event to be Fully Bilingual

Disponible en:

Registration to attend is open to the public.

The Bookworm Festival is back in person. Aldine ISD will host the event in partnership with sponsor Blue Willow Bookshop. There is a twist this year to increase access to more young readers — the festival will be fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Some Spanish speakers might be unfamiliar with the English word “bookworm.” In Spanish, the expression used to describe a bookworm used another creature — ratón de biblioteca. The Spanish phrase translates to “library rat.”

Young readers (Grades PreK, K, 1, 2, and 3) are encouraged to join us for a fun morning celebrating emerging readers and those who create books for them!

The Bookworm Festival started in 2014 as a FREE, family-friendly event. Families and young readers can hear from award-winning authors and illustrators! Readers hear about new books through a series of author/illustrator panels and learn from the presenters.

The 2023 all-star line-up includes the following authors and illustrators:

Kelly DiPucchio, Author
Ángela Domínguez, Author
Zaida Hernández, NASA Engineer and Author
Rafael López, Illustrator
Marcelo Verdad, Illustrator & Author
Steven Shaskan, Author and Illustrator
Anne Wynter, Author

Families can purchase books at the event. After the panel sessions, young readers can then take the books to the authors and illustrators to sign or take pictures. They can also chat with the authors and illustrators.

We hope you can join us for all the book-tastic fun!
