[S11E7] Alexandra Diaz on "The Only Road" and the Importance of Children's Books on Migration

Today, Maggie and Angela interview Alexandra Diaz, the author of The Only Road. The Only Road is a children’s book inspired by true events that depicts the journey of two cousins, Jaime and Ángela, who migrate from Guatemala to seek refuge in the United States. In this episode, Diaz explains her research process, her own experiences as a child of refugees, and her hopes for her impact on the understanding of migrants by readers—adults and children alike.
