Vanessa García's children's book "What The Bread Says" merges family, history, and kitchen tradition
The last time Vanessa García was on the podcast in 2019, we talked about Amparo, the immersive play she had created together with director Victoria Collado, her partner at Abre Camino Collective (also on that episode). This time around, Vanessa joins us to talk about her brand new children’s book, “What The Bread Says, Baking with Love, History, and Papan,” which draws on her childhood memories of making bread with her grandfather to tell kids his story of flight from war in Spain, Nazism in Germany and communist dictatorship in Cuba.
What motivated her to write for kids? How has the book been received by children (including her own) and their parents? What’s it been like for the book’s publisher to wade into the debate over Cuba’s dictatorship? All that and more on the latest episode.
Buy "What The Bread Says" on Amazon.
