My grandfather gave me my first words of Spanish, as well as a love for stories. My mother was also a teller of tales. I grew up in Spain, México and Southern California and became a teller of bilingual tales myself. I am also a Spanish teacher, and have taught in the U.S. public school system and in international schools in India and Thailand. I believe that all children should be able to open books and see the astonishing diversity of the world, as well as a life that looks like their own. |
