The headline's a bit of an exaggeration, but some of you will enjoy the reference.
More literally, yesterday was my first school visit in support of The Best Mariachi in the World/El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo. Brooksfield School in McLean, Virginia, a Montessori school for pre-K to third grade students, hosted me for most of the morning.
We read and shared the bilingual and Spanish-language versions of the book, and students heard several tracks from a two-disc collection by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán that my wife Paula Van Lare bought for me in time for the appearance. The upper-level students danced for a few minutes, and both groups had some fun with show and tell and Spanish vocabulary.
Pictures and further details are forthcoming and, to paraphrase the title of a recent film, there will be sombreros.

OMG (as the kids say). I'm sorry but the thought of this is just too cute for words.....
Well, Sue, it was totally adorable, especially when the wee tiny kids put on my full-size sombrero.
The pictures should be something.
