IZOD IndyCar Series driver Milka Duno will autograph copies of her bilingual children’s book “Go, Milka Go!” and greet fans from noon to 3 p.m. (EST) Nov. 14 at the bububooks.com booth as part of the 2009 Miami Book Fair International Street Fair.

The event will be in Miami’s Central Business District surrounding Miami Dade College. The bububooks.com booth will be located in section E of the fair located on NE 3rd Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues.

“Go, Milka, Go!” — about Duno’s life and racing career — was awarded the Best Young Adult Sports/Recreation Book of 2009 at the 11th Annual International Latino Book Awards.

Duno also will answer questions, pose for photos and offer words of encouragement that embody her “Milka Way” program. The program’s mission is to inspire children and young adults to “Aim for the Stars” and achieve academic excellence. Duno has taken this message to schools across the nation and internationally.

“I am very passionate about education and I want to do everything that I can to inspire young people to study hard and aim for the stars,” Duno said. “I’m honored to be involved with bububooks because we share the same passion and have similar goals.”
