On Sunday, Nov. 8th at 2pm join us for the launch of "Corn & Tortillas: Love Shared" by Cynthia Jolly Stobbe and illustrated by Job Martínez.
In this heartwarming children's picture book, Corn and Tortillas: Love Shared, Ana Lucia and her little brother Manuel delight in their love of family and tortillas while their Chiichi (grandmother in Maya), takes joy in sharing the richness of her Maya culture and traditions. This story celebrates the love and heritage that binds us all through the joy of cooking and moments spent together.
Cynthia Jolly Stobbe has over 30 years of experience as an early educator and mentor. As a person of colour, she is dedicated to promoting diversity in classrooms and children's books, and believes that every child should see themselves represented in the stories they read.
Job Martínez is an artist and illustrator from Progreso, Mexico, whose work is deeply inspired by the rhythm of everyday life.
