Academic Guest Spot: Nancy Dominguez Fret
Over the past few weeks, I had the pleasure of featuring some bilingual authors from Illinois who are doing some great work. From young adult fantasy novels featuring Latinx girls to a novel that helps young people heighten their environmental consciousness, Latinx authors in the Chicagoland are up to some great things! But that’s not…

Latinx Author Guest Spot: Dennis Avelar
This week, I have the pleasure of featuring another talented Latino author who recently published a novel about heritage, culture, and love for our planet.

Latinx Author Guest Spot: Candice Yamnitz
When I was a child, I don’t recall seeing very many Latinx characters in the literature I read in school, the programs I watched on television or the movies I watched on the silver screen. Even though the times that we live in now are certainly more inclusive than generations past, there is still much…

Tips to Market your Self-Published Children’s Book (if you’re not tech savvy!)

Los desafíos de criar niñas en un mundo misógino
Se ha dicho mucho sobre la educación de las niñas: que no se les debe negar ser definidas por su género, que tienen el derecho exigir igualdad y que sus voces deben ser escuchadas. Sin embargo, no se ha escrito mucho sobre el papel de los padres en la crianza de estas jóvenes. He escuchado…
The Challenges of Raising Girls in a Misogynist World
A lot that has already been said about bringing up girls: Ones who refuse to be defined by their gender, that demand equality and to have their voices be heard. Not much is written about the role of parents in bringing up these young ladies, however! I have heard many parents (fathers especially) claim, “I…
