Elisa Guerrero and Roberto Matabuena in conversation with Carolina Resendiz Vázquez

Querétaro 2024, 
A girl and a boy from Querétaro talk about the stories they write. Elisa Guerrero Hoyos was born on the day that Marty McFly traveled to the future in the film from the eighties. Her passion is gymnastics. She loves drawing eyes, cats, and feet. She loves stories because they are fun and they entertain her. La vida de la niña un ojo is her first story, and she published it in the Cajas de Agua collection from Letra Capital Publishing House; she came up with the idea when she was playing with modeling clay, and the face of the one-eyed girl appeared. Roberto Matabuena is a fourth grader, and his main pastime is drawing trains, container ships, tornadoes, and space shuttles. Un virus de mascota, from the Cajas de Agua collection from Letra Capital Publishing House, is his first published story, inspired by one of his other fascinations: the microscopic world. In conversation with Carolina Resendiz Vázquez.
