As I told you yesterday, this day is sooooo special to me because since I was a child I have celebrated it with my family and friends as the Day of the book AND the rose!! Yes!! And the rose!! Maybe you will ask me… why a rose? The explanation is in a legend: The legend of Saint George and the Dragon. A dragon? Yeah! A fantastic animal! Do you like legends? Do you like dragons?

In Cataluña the tradition says that you have to give a red rose to people you love. Because I love you all, this rose is from me to you! HAPPY SAINT GEORGE'S DAY!
