A few (of the many!) highlights from this episode with New York Times bestselling, Newbery Medal and Pura Belpré Award-winner Donna Barba Higuera include:

🎙️ The value of wondering, and whether being a "wonderer" is inherent or learned

🎙️ Writing for ourselves and other members of the “nerd herd” (not critics)

🎙️ Integrating emotional facets of oral storytelling into the written form

Donna Barba Higuera has created some of the most beloved characters and stories across age groups in recent years, including her Newbery Award winning THE LAST CUENTISTA, LUPE WONG WON'T DANCE, EL CUCUY IS SCARED, TOO and THE YELLOW HANDKERCHIEF. Her highly anticipated ALEBRIJES releases on October 3rd.
