La Yapa (Extras)
At the 2025 Feria del Libro, I will present ways to support social-emotional learning using picture books. Remember that books were meant to preserve our stories. Many of those stories were kept, retold and re-imagined through generations by the storytellers, los cuenteros. Now you can choose what stories you want to share and promote. The beauty of pictures books, is the rich imagery has a story on it's own (regardless of what the text says or the language it is written in). Let those pictures be the starting point of a journey with the children in your life.
