Program Description
Emma Otheguy’s middle grade novels focus on Latin American history and contemporary Latine identity for children. Her presentations cover history, culture, and community, and can be offered in both English and Spanish. Here are her offerings for Grades 3 & up: SILVER MEADOWS SUMMER: In this presentation about family, friendship, and immigration, Emma will share the personal experiences that inspired Silver Meadows Summer: growing up Cuban-American, spending summers with family in Puerto Rico, and falling in love with farms and forests while working in upstate New York. MARTÍ’S SONG FOR FREEDOM: This presentation introduces students to the culture of Cuba and the very important connections between Latin America and the United States. Emma will discuss the power of change-makers like José Martí and the value of poetry and literature as bridges between cultures. SECRETS OF THE SILVER LION: A CARMEN SANDIEGO STORY: Students will learn about the real-life culture and history that inspired Carmen Sandiego’s latest quest, as well as the research smarts Carmen uses to crack the secrets of the silver lion. Emma will invite questions about international travel, historical research, writing original stories about favorite characters, and growing up bilingual and bicultural.
