Raul Castillo Uses Friendly Witch to Share the Joy of Reading and Writing in New Spanish Book “La Bruja Que No Fue a la Escuela”
“I made a story where anyone–even witches– needs school. When I was growing up, I saw how education helped people make a good living with any career. My parents didn’t finish school. My mother finished first grade and my father finished fourth grade. It was a very difficult way of living for them. My mom raised my brother and I by herself. Since I was a kid, I understood the only way to succeed was to have an education.”
