Aarón Soñador, ilustrador / Aaron Slater, Illustrator

Aaron Slater is an illustrator known for his inspiring story about the power of art, finding your voice, and telling your story even when you feel out of step with your classmates. The creators of bestselling books like Sofía Valdez, Future Prez and Ada Twist, Scientist wrote this book that tells the story of Aarón Soñador, a young boy who loves listening to stories and dreams of writing them himself.

However, Aaron struggles with reading as the letters seem like mere squiggles to him. He thinks that writing a story is impossible, especially after his teacher asks every child in his class to write a story, and he can’t seem to get any words down. But when he feels inspired, Aarón discovers a particular way of telling stories that is unique to him.

The book’s story is an uplifting reminder that everyone has their own path to success, and sometimes it takes a little more effort and creativity to find it.
