ABOUT SARA...
When Sara first moved to the United States from her native Peru, her spoken English vocabulary consisted of just one word “monkey.” Thanks to Alisal Elementary, a bilingual school in Salinas, California, she not only expanded her vocabulary she was taught to celebrate her mixed heritage. It was there where she also learned the power of her words after a teacher, Ms. Stewart, turned one of her stories about the Easter Bunny into a play that became part of the English language curriculum. She's worked as a photojournalist, a multimedia storyteller, and is now a dual immersion teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area.
