<p><em><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>Sun, Stone, and Shadows: 20 Great Mexican Short Stories</strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"> <strong>Welcome!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"> If you are here, you should know that ACC has received an important grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.  Our main goal is to reach as many people as possible and encourage the community of Austin to <strong>read</strong>.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"> I would like to invite you, your family, and friends to attend our events.  We have something for everyone and I assure you that you will be inspired to reconnect with the pleasure of reading. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"> Parents, this is great opportunity for you and your children to share a common activity, initiate a constructive dialog, and exchange ideas.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"> Also, we must not forget that <em>Sun, Stone, and Shadows</em> has a rich cultural context.  Many of you will discover and be amazed to know another face of Mexico, the literature face.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">ACC&#8217;s The Big Read team is proud to present this program to you and we hope to shake your hand when you join us at any of our ACC’s The Big Read events.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong><em>Sol, piedra y sombras: Veinte cuentistas mexicanos de la primera mitad del siglo XX</em></strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000080;"> Padres de familia, esta es una gran oportunidad para que usted y sus hijos compartan una actividad en común, inicien un diálogo constructivo e intercambien ideas. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"> También, cabe mencionar que <em>Sol, piedra y sombras </em>tiene un contenido cultural muy rico.  Muchos de ustedes descubrirán y se sorprenderán al conocer otra cara de México, la cara literaria. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"> El equipo de <em>ACC&#8217;s The Big read</em>  está orgulloso de presentarles este programa y esperamos saludarlos cuando nos encontremos en alguno de los eventos de <em>ACC’s The Big Read</em>.</span></p>
