Join us at the Festival of Libraries and celebrate a special day dedicated to Mexico, where the magic of storytelling and creativity come together in an amazing experience.

Enjoy a reading of La leyenda de los ojos del bosque by Magaly Flores, and take part in a creative activity where we will craft a “penacho” inspired by Mexican culture.

This enigmatic Totonac legend takes us to ancient Coyatoc, where a forest lost its balance and nature began to behave in inexplicable ways. The nights turned sunny, the waters disappeared, and animals fled without a trace. Gripped by fear, the locals avoided this mysterious place—until two young people decided to uncover the truth. On their journey, they discovered strange eyes glowing in the darkness. Were they the cause of the disaster or merely witnesses to an even greater mystery?

After this fascinating story, we invite you to a colourful and creative activity: crafting a traditional Mexican “penacho”. Through textures and designs inspired by Mexican culture, children will have the opportunity to explore their creativity and learn more about Mexico’s rich traditions.
