Thrilled to announce that my upcoming picture book ALBERTO SALAS PLAYS PAKA PAKA CON LA PAPA about my hero, Peruvian plant collector Alberto Salas, with vibrant art by Juana Martinez-Neal has been chosen as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection in both English and Spanish (thanks to the exquisite translation skills of Mariana Llanos) So happy that a book that celebrates the value and beauty of an Andean childhood and the Quechua language is being honored in this way. Can't wait for kids across the world to get to know and fall in love with Alberto and his work. #JLGSelection Macmillan Nicole Geiger International Potato Center (CIP) CGIAR Edited by Connie Hsu Art Direction by Aram Kim Editorial Assistant Nicolas Ore-Giron
