My ABCs: Argentina, Brazil, Canada
Stories, Letters, and Poems about Identity and Belonging
My ABCs: Argentina, Brazil, Canada: Stories, Letters, and Poems about Identity and Belonging explores moments from Mariela Sol Torroba Hennigen's upbringing and family history. She reflects on how they interweave, how both shaped her into who she is and how both brought her to where she stands today. Note that this book mentions mature topics, like xenophobia, bullying, and violence.
“All three languages make me who I am.”
Mariela on finding her voice as a trilingual writer, sharing deeply personal stories, and truly ‘making’ a book.
Read Mariela’s interview with Whitney V. Buluma in her newsletter.
