Listen "Paula's Patches"
Episode Synopsis
Gabriella Alderman is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her debut picture book, "Paula's Patches." The book, illustrated by Rocio Arriola Mendoza follows Paula, who starts her school day with a rip in her pants and spends the day trying to hide it in creative ways. Along the way, she discovers that others also have embarrassing mishaps, leading her to offer patches to her classmates, fostering a sense of connection and empathy. The conversation also touched on translating children's books into Spanish, where Gabriella emphasized the importance of understanding the target audience and considering the regional dialects within the Spanish-speaking world. She shared her love for translating rhyme and the need to see the book's illustrations to capture the essence of the story. Gabriella also talked about her Panamanian background, describing Panama City's unique blend of modernity, beautiful landscapes, and friendly people. She encouraged others to explore Panama, a diverse and vibrant country. Finally, she mentioned her upcoming picture book, "Squats of Spanish," set for release in 2024, which will be simultaneously available in both English and Spanish.
