Some of my favorite Spanish books are an amalgamation of unique illustrations + a nod to the experience of being different. We’ve all felt a bit odd, weird, and out of sorts. Children’s books have a wonderful way of conveying this in a simple and dazzling way. First up is Monstruo rosa by Olga de Dios…
Storytime and Difficult Topics
I was scrolling through Twitter, as is often my custom when I need a good guttural belly laugh, and I stumbled on the following post: ICE Raids planned for the weekend, Sunday, June 23, 2019. I quietly put my phone down and made an inventory of what I could do at that moment. It is…
