Malin visits Palo Alto College

We had a wonderful time today with Malin Alegria, author of "Estrella's Quinceanera" during her visit to Palo Alto College. She gave a wonderfully animated reading and presentation, which delighted everyone in attendance.

Malin was dressed in her quinceanera dress and tiara, and she had a ceramic girl in her quinceanera dress figurine. After her reading, Malin took questions from the audience and offered advice on writing and publishing.

After she signed autographs for students, faculty and staff, Malin allowed me, Becky and Martha to take her to Mi Tierra's restaurant for lunch, where we met up with Bertha. Malin kept the conversation alive with interesting discussions on a wide range of topics. After lunch, we drove by Sandra Cisneros' house and Malin posed for a photo from the sidewalk in front of the house.
