¡Hola, Bookworms! Last fall, AGG and Sergio hit the Big Apple for the first-ever Latinx Storyteller Conference, hosted by the Latinx Kidlit Book Festival (LKBF). This unforgettable gathering brought together Latinx authors, artists, educators, and publishing professionals in celebration of our stories and our comunidad. In this special bonus episode, we’re sharing on-the-ground interviews with three incredible voices in the literary world: Alexandra Villasante (co-founder of the conference), YA author Michael Solis, and poet-novelist Aida Salazar.
