Welcome back author Paola Santos, for the launch of her new children's book, A House in My Barrio.

In this touching picture book about the importance of kindness and lending a hand, a young boy gathers his community to take care of a loved one. This picture book includes gentle introductions to the Spanish language with a strong message about caring for others.

Paola Santos is a children's book author born and raised in Venezuela. After moving to Canada, she found the courage to share the words and stories that had long been enclosed in her imagination. Her stories are now woven with her culture, experience in a new country, hope, happiness, and diversity. She is the author of How to Eat a Mango / Cómo se come un mango (Neal Porter Books / Holiday House), 2024, and the forthcoming picture book A House in My Barrio (Henry Holt / Macmillan), 2026. She lives in Edmonton.
