Translations

During the pandemic, I entered the world of translation. Who knew all of that time working to be accessible to my Spanish speaking family and elders would extend to my work for children. Explore these beautiful books I was fortunate to translate.

LA PANZA DE MAMÁ

LA PANZA DE MAMÁ by Isabel Quintero, illustrated by Iliana Galvez. A little boy's ode to a mother's belly and all bodies.
This book made me cry when I first read it as it reminded me of my mother's panza.

OJALA SUPIERAS

OJALÁ SUPIERAS by @JackieKramer422 illustrated by @Magdalenadraws. I was lucky to translate it to Spanish. It’s a moving look at feelings we don’t always know how to share.

NEVERFORGOTTEN

NEVERFORGOTTEN by @AlejandraAlgorta illustrated by @Ivan Rickenmann. I translated this lyrical novel from Spanish to English for @LevineQuerido. It’s about what happens when the greatest bicyclist in all of Bogotá forgets how to ride a bicycle.
