Feliz día del niño!
¡Feliz día del niño! At the end of April every year, México honors its children on this day. Día del niño celebrates the joy of childhood and honors the importance of children worldwide in their journey of growth and discovery. A day of play, happiness, and laughter, join us in celebrating the importance of children and childhood in our everyday lives.
Visual Description:
Centered on a color photograph, two light-skinned children are seated next to one another atop a concrete staircase in front of a black exterior doorway. Both wearing gold, black and white wide-brimmed sombreros, both children hold a light pink paleta in their left hand. The child on the left, facing forward, wears a navy blue t-shirt with white “dinosaur” text across the chest, khaki shorts, and red socks peaking from their white velcro strap shoes. The child on the right faces forward, with a khaki, blue, and red horizontal striped collared polo, khaki shorts, and white socks peeking out of their white velcro strapped shoes.
