Ishara's Reading Podcast
I interviewed the National Ambassador for Young Peoples Literature - Ms. Meg Medina!
Just a few weeks ago Ishara had the opportunity to attend her second National Book Festival sponsored by the Library of Congress annually in Washington D.C. And this time, it was an even bigger deal - Ishara received her very first press pass! She had an amazing experience interviewing several of her favorite authors! First to be interview by Ishara was Meg Medina - the 2023-2024 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature!
Meg is a beautifully proud Cuban American author, who has written books for kids of all ages and she is the eighth writer to receive the honor of National Ambassador! Meg has written a library of acclaimed books, some of which are Ishara’s favorites, “Mango, Abuela, and Me,” illustrated by Angela Dominguez; and “Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away,” illustrated by Sonia Sánchez and “Tía Isa Wants a Car,” illustrated by Claudio Muñoz, won the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. Learn more about Meg’s platform - “Cuéntame! - Let’s talk books" and her dedication literacy education for children during her interview with Ishara.
For more information about Cuéntame! and Meg’s national tour stops for public events at a local library and private program at an area school near you check out https://guides.loc.gov/meg-medina/cuentame
