Whether they’re exploring a fantasy land, coming into their magic in the real world, or stepping up to save their families from real dangers, these Latinx writers are giving a new generation of kids the positive reinforcement they need to be the heroes of their own stories. Join Ernesto Cisneros (EFR´EN DIVIDED), Alex Aster (CURSE OF THE NIGHTWITCH), Alejandra Green (FANTASTIC TALES OF NOTHING), and Fanny Rodriguez (FANTASTIC TALES OF NOTHING) as they talk about what it means to be a hero and what tools Latinx tweens take from these adventures into their own lives.
Moderator: Mary Louise Sanchez is the author of the middle grade novel THE WIND CALLED MY NAME which won the 2016 New Visions Award from Tu Books (Lee & Low Books) and was a finalist for the WILLA Award from Women Writing the West.
