Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This month's Book Fiesta is not focused on one primary author/illustrator. Instead, we and our children will lumber over to our public library in search of Biographies or Stories of Famous People. The *famous people* can be anyone from presidents, kings and queens, authors, illustrators, naturalists, educators, scientists, poets, etc.

The only qualifications are that the books checked out and read must be illustrated books and must be about real people.

Go here to get started...Book Fiesta
