Abstract

In the spring of 2010, I studied abroad in the charming Spanish town of Segovia. I was amazed by the beauty of this historic city and greatly enjoyed passing a number of ancient monuments and structures each day. I experienced the true culture, however, in my interactions with my host family, who espoused a deep sense of pride in their city and their citizenship within it. This unique culture and sense of identity inspired me to write and illustrate a children's book in Spanish. My book, Quien Soy?, follows a day in the life of a young Segovian girl as she searches for the answer to the age-old question, "Who am I?"�
