Aida Salazar is an award-winning author and arts activist whose writings for adults and children explore issues of identity and social justice. She is the author of a number of novels for middle schoolers, young adults and adults including the picture book anthology "In the Spirit of a Dream: 13 Stories of American Immigrants of Color." Her newest addition is the Scholastic novel "Stream" which tells a contemporary story of two newly graduated eighth graders, their strong attachment to their cell phones, and their parents' handling of the situation. It's a great read and a strong story for having this conversation in your own family. We live in a critical time where we must be in touch with the things that truly matter, spirit within us, which is spirit in our planet - the soil, the trees, all animal life. These books can help us wake up.
