Broward: Read for the Record Day is on October 26th, 2023.

This year, we are SHARING THE LOVE and reading With Lots of Love by Jenny Torres Sanchez, illustrated by André Ceolin.

With Lots of Love is a story about a girl who has moved to the United States from her home in Central America, away from everything she leaves behind and longs for- especially her Abuela. Rocio does her best to adjust to a new way of living, but there are many things she misses from her old life – Abuela’s cooking, Abuela’s piñata creations, Abuela’s warm hugs, and of course, Abuela herself most of all. But Abuela finds a way to send Rocio something special just in time for her birthday – a gift wrapped with lots of love – and that fills Rocio to the brim.
