Esmeralda Santiago quotes
I thought, 'I have been through this process before'...When I was 13 years old I came from Puerto Rico to the United States not knowing any English. What I did at that time was I went to the public library, and I would go to the children's book section where there would be alphabet books and everything would be illustrated. So it was very easy to connect the words to the images. I said, ‘I'm just going to do the same thing. If I did it once before, I can do it again.'
