Debut Musa Anna Orenstein-Cardona chats with Ana Siqueira about her picture book, The Tree Of Hope, its inspiration—namely, Hurricane María's impact on Puerto Rico and how that inspired and motivated Ana to write her book as a love letter to Puerto Rico—her multicultural upbringing, and the story of the jagüey blanco, or the banyon tree, its history on the island and how the people of Puerto Rico came together to save it.
