About
Join Yael Berstein (TAPIOCA STORIES) and Claudia Rueda (Colombian picture book author) in conversation with Gabriela Adamo (LÍNEAS DEL SUR) for a discussion about Latin American children’s books as they travel from the south to the north of the continent.
We will explore the current landscape of this vibrant field -its storytelling, artwork, and design- and highlight notable titles published in the United States, both in English and in their original language.
The conversation invites readers, educators, and librarians to discover the many ways these books can spark dialogue in classrooms, libraries, and homes.
