Meet Isabel Campoy and her latest picture book Maybe Something Wonderful

I was thinking about the many kinds of riches and for me the foremost is the richness of relationships. I’ve been fortunate enough to know Isabel Campoy who along with her partner in love and literacy Alma Flor Ada, have been instrumental in bringing about diversity in children’s literature for many years. They’ve used an asset approach by highlighting the beauty, humor, depth and broadness of Latino culture as exemplified in Maybe Something Wonderful: How art transformed a neighborhood that Isabel shares in this interview. I hope that you feel the love that Isabel shares in her life and work and that I’ve been a grateful recipient of for over 20 years now.

Here’s the less than 12 minute video, followed by a little about Isabel and some of her other books.
