Nuestros Stories Matter
Hola Comadres!
Welcome to the 7th episode of Season 5! Welcome back mi comadre!
Let’s talk about the importance of representation and telling our stories! Did you know? Providing children with access to reading materials in which they can both see themselves and experience the lives of others benefits the individual readers.
Join your comadre Marcy and Lissette Norman, author of popular children's books (biography below), as they discuss literary representation and why it is so important to continue to tell our stories now matter who you are.
Marcy is recording with Riverside-FM and if you'd like to watch instead of listen, head on over to YouTube and check out the video version of the podcast.
