Meg Medina: 2016 National Book Festival

Karen Jaffee from the Library of Congress speaks with Meg Medina, who appeared at the 2016 National Book Festival on September 24 in Washington, D.C.

Award-winning Cuban-American author Meg Medina was recognized as one of the CNN 10 Visionary Women in America. Medina has received a Pura Belpré honor and award, a Cybils fiction award and an Ezra Jack Keats new writers medal, among other honors. Her award-winning books include “Tía Isa Wants a Car,” “Mango, Abuela and Me” and “Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass.” Her latest book, “Burn Baby Burn,” explores the coming-of-age of New York teen Nora Lopez during the tense summer of 1977, as she considers dating while the serial killer Son of Sam is on the loose.
