Reading Rockets' interviews with top Hispanic children's book authors and illustrators are an excellent way to introduce students to those who create books kids know and love. Not just for children, these interviews are also enjoyed by parents, teachers, librarians, and other educators who appreciate the value of children's literature and get a kick out of putting a face and voice to the authors and illustrators whose work we enjoy. Discover the roots and inspirations of authors writing about Latino heritage. Also available on iTunes: Colorín Colorado's Spanish-language author interview series "Conozca al Autor."
