Writer’s Voice with Francesca Rheannon
Family separation is still devastating the lives of children. We talk with Sylvia Rodriguez-Vega about her book, “Drawing Deportation: Art and Resistance Among Immigrant Children.” It’s about how family separation is traumatizing children and how art is helping them to heal.
Then, we talk with Amy Beutens about “You Are The Universe: Ram Dass Maps The Journey,” a graphic book told through the words of American spiritual teacher Ram Dass.
