The Denver Preschool Program (DPP) and the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs (DOCA) have announced the selection for this year’s Preschool One Book, One Denver (POBOD)! Beginning April 15, 2011, many of Denver’s preschoolers will begin reading Is Your Mama A Llama? by Deborah Guarino. Celebrating its 22nd year in print with more than a million copies sold in that time, Is Your Mama A Llama? is a perennial favorite of parents and children alike. To help us celebrate the choice of her book as 2011’s POBOD selection, author Deborah Guarino will be on hand for a special reading and book signing at 5:30pm on Friday, April 15th, at the Colorado Convention Center as part of the inaugural Rocky Mountain Early Childhood Conference. All are welcome to attend. Additionally, POBOD will feature a number of community readings by local celebrities across the City and County of Denver through Saturday, April 30th.

"It also served as a nice stage from which DPP could recognize some of its most-deserving providers as well as launch 2011's Preschool One Book, One Denver initiative.
