Celebrate the 45 young people who engaged with writer and educator Bessie Flores Zaldívar around their unforgettable queer YA coming-of-age novel about a young poet discovering the courage it takes to speak her truth about the people and country she loves. This live interaction with a real-author was a confidence booster for the history, theater and AP Spanish students as they received a personalized autographed copy of Libertad. Appreciate the partnership with Enoch Pratt Library to bring literacy to all.
