Cover to Cover is a NEW monthly reading, discussion & activity group for students in grades 2-3. This month we’ll discuss “Lola’s First Day of the Dead” by Keka Novales.

Lola Lopes Cruz has always lived in Texas. But one year, while preparing for Halloween, she learns about the holiday celebrated by her mother when she was a girl in Guatemala: the Day of the Dead. Find out how Lola manages to balance two different cultural traditions in “Lola’s First Day of the Dead” from the “Hola, Lola!” series by Keka Novales. For this session, we will also have crafts available for both of these October 31-November 1 celebrations.

You can borrow a copy of “Lola’s First Day of the Dead” by Keka Novales–along with a specially prepared reading guide for our group–from the Connie Morella Library; just ask at either the Circulation Desk or Information Desk for the book for the October meeting of Cover to Cover!
