Santo Domingo, August 7, 2018 \u2013 <\/strong>Educator Carmen Esteva recently published her fifth book titled Cinco cuentos de la abuelita Calule<\/em> <\/strong>(non-official translation: Grandmother Calule\u2019s Five Short Stories), <\/strong>where she speaks of stories and situations faced by children and where she brings in her own personal childhood memories into this book of fiction.<\/p>\n

The book launching event was held at the Pedro Mir Forum sponsored by Librer\u00eda Cuesta<\/em>, one of the country\u2019s most important bookstores. Esteva presented her book of short stories under the pseudonym Abuelita Calule<\/em>, the nickname given to her by\u00a0 her grandchildren. Dominican writer Ruth Herrera hosted the event.<\/p>\n

Esteva has been writing from a very young age.\u00a0 She majored in education and held important management positions in several schools in Santo Domingo until she founded CEMEP, her own school.<\/p>\n

Artist Kilia Llano illustrated the 63-page short story book. During the book presentation, Ms. Esteva explained:\u00a0 \u201cTechnology has contributed to the loss of our tradition to read stories to our families, and I want to go back to that period in time when parents read stories to their children every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The short story book will be available at Librer\u00eda Cuesta<\/em> and in all EPK children\u2019s stores in Santo Domingo and Santiago.<\/p>\n
