The pains of growing up are universal, but they can also exist as a meeting space in our global community by listening to each other’s stories. From friends moving away to navigating junior high and beyond, author Meg Medina has crafted several picture books, junior high school novels and young adult novels that feature strong Latinx characters exploring the pains of growing up and the places where culture and family intersect. She will be at the Fayetteville Public Library on Tuesday, April 26, for a rescheduled talk with news director and anchor of Uni-vision Arkansas, Andrea Delgado, after spending the day with public school students. The talk begins at 6:30 p.m.
