Aixa Pérez-Prado, author of Mercedes Sosa: Voice of the People/Mercedes Sosa: La Voz del Pueblo (Children's Book Press) shares what is giving her hope today: how imagination takes flight though the many different voices of storytellers, artists, musicians, and creators from every corner of the planet. This is a new miniseries of indefinite length in which I invite my friends from the kidlit community to share what is giving them hope today.
