Alberto Salas Plays Paka Paka Con La Papa - Fajardo, Sara Andrea

. .

Résumé :
Sara A. Fajardo is a Peruvian-American writer whose dad constantly reminded her that potatoes are from the Andes. So, she jumped at the chance to work as a consultant for the International Potato Center. Over the years she's learned which potatoes help paint your lips the perfect shade of red, how to cure a sour stomach with potato, and how much we owe the farmers and plant scientists who care for our potatoes. She's never met a potato she doesn't love and wants the world to know that a sweetpotato is as related to a potato as a lemur is to a gorilla. Please don't ever tell her that your favorite potato is a sweetpotato because it will lead to a very long yet loving lecture....

Sommaire:

Sara A. Fajardo first discovered the power of words when she was four. Newly arrived in the United States from her native Peru, her English vocabulary consisted of the word monkey, which she promptly turned into her favorite greeting, Hola Monkey! The amused reaction to that phrase started her on a lifelong path of telling stories-first as a photojournalist, then as a multimedia storyteller for humanitarian aid organizations, and now as a writer for children. She grew up in the agricultural community of Salinas, California, and has lived in Finland, Japan, and Kenya. Sara currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, with her husband, two children, and very playful cat.
