my first bilingual book!

With the help of Oralia Garza de Cortes, Lucia M. Gonzalez, and my translator Vilma Álvarez-Steenwerth, I am almost ready to release a bilingual edition of Let the Faithful Come! And the Spanish edition of Max Loves Muñecas! should follow next week. I can’t speak or read Spanish, so I am very grateful for these Latina librarians/authors/scholars who so graciously shared their time and expertise with me. I’m working on 6 books right now and just applied for a residency in Miami, a conference here in Brooklyn, and I’m considering a trip to Antigua to conduct research on my memoir The Hummingbird’s Tongue. I made Xmas toffee last night and will start the more serious baking next week…the tree just needs a bit more tinsel…2016 is on its way!
