Carmen Agra Deedy is a writer of children’s literature, a storyteller, an radio contributor. Her luminous, funny, digressive tales of childhood and adulthood bring out the starry-eyed listener in us all. She told us why a great story is about letting go, how stories literally allow us to connect others, and what it was like moving to the South with her family after the Cuban Revolution.
She’ll speak at the Teton County Library tonight (September 22nd) at 6pm as part of their celebration of Latino Heritage Month.
