‘Juana La Iguana’ author Tania Gilinski brings Hispanic Heritage To Caribu Video-Calls

Oct
Tania Gilinksi has always admired children’s picture books. “They seem easy to create because they’re short, but it’s actually very hard to make these books,” she said. “The authors are communicating with an audience that doesn’t read yet.
