Meet Dulce Santana, a multi-talented artist who has published a book for children in two languages. The unique style of her children’s book was published as a two-in-one story book. Dulce explains on yWrite with Angela Grout the process of publishing this book, as well as the inspiration behind the story. As a children’s author and a singer, Dulce shares how she markets her book to children through providing classroom presentations. This avenue of showcasing her children’s book allows her to perform as well as engage with the students. In this episode she sings the song which she also sings in the classrooms. It is a song which inspired the book, and for the first time is recorded here as she plays the Cuatro. The Cuatro is a four-string instrument and the melody along with Dulce’s voice will have you singing along. Dulce Santana is a musician, singer, writer, and illustrator. Listen to her process of illustrating her children’s book and just how she made sure the publication was exactly as she intended. As an author, it is your responsibility to communicate the design to a publisher.
