Today the mailman brought me a heavy box sent by the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez. Inside, I found ten books of Leer es sembrar futuro (Reading is sowing the future), an anthology of stories, plays, poems, and articles for kids and adolecents of the state of Chihuahua written by Elena Dreser, Gilberto Rendón, Sylvia Puentes de Oyenard, Gusti, Luis Cabrera Delgado and other writers of Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Cuba, Chile, and Peru, and edited by Susana Báez Ayala. I'm flattered that my story for the preschool crowd, Un chile, dos chiles, tres..., is among them. The anthology was distributed for free (by the state government) in this place plagued with so many problems and where they intend that, with the book (and reading in general), the kids can, in Susana's words, "look towards a future of peace, a future of harmony, a future of respect, a future of enjoying life..." The book was distributed in April 2012 and I hope that its readers enjoyed and continue to enjoy it. Thank you for allowing me to to participate in this project! I'm honored.
