“Keep Your Hands Off.” “Please Don’t Touch.” Phrases you and your children find, all too often, on placards when visiting museums. But great news, everyone! If you’re visiting Philadelphia next weekend, make it a point to stop by and join in on the celebration of El Día de Los Niños at the Please Touch Museum (the Children’s Museum of Philadelphia; www.pleasetouchmuseum.org) where your children can touch, touch, touch to their hearts’ content. Marisa has been invited to read from her storybook, There’s a Coquí in My Shoe!, at the Museum’s Story Castle, at 3:30 p.m on Saturday, May 1, 2010. An appearance by Dora the Explorer will also be made earlier in the day at the Castle. The fun-filled celebration continues with Latin American music, dance, and concert performances throughout the day. El Día de Los Niños, which was founded by nationally acclaimed children’s book author Pat Mora in 1996, celebrates the importance of literacy for children of all backgrounds. I sure hope to see you there. It will be lots of fun for the entire family! The Please Touch Museum is “dedicated to enriching the lives of children by providing learning opportunities through play.” Aaaah . . . shucks! I’m eagerly awaiting for the opening of the first Please Touch Museum for grown ups. Kids are just so lucky!
