This week guest host Elena is joined by Genesis and Agonza, two rising Latinae artists to discuss their projects and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. They discuss the importance of being visible in their work so that kids can see people like them achieving great things. They also chat about the origins of Halloween, horror, and Spanish childrenâs books. During The Last Chapter they discuss reading snacks!Â
