Alyssa Reynoso-Morris, Author

  • Summary

  • Alyssa Reynoso-Morris writes a delicious book about the sounds and sensations of cooking with her grandmother sharing the love of plantains and helps readers connect to the heart of Latin kitchens. This book also taps into the love from ancestors through recipes.

    Very few books have touched on the subject and also present The Bronx in a positive light. Plantains are a food consumed all around the world which bring love and family together. This book, "Platanos Are Love,” tells the story of history, culture and time spent with family.

    Alyssa is Dominican/Puerto Rican, grew up in The Bronx and didn't learn to read until she was in fourth grade. She owes her political science interest and efforts in pushing literacy to her Grandmother who was always watching the news, creating commentary and the original storyteller in the household.

    From The Revolucion Podcast co-hosts Diego Lastra and Kathryn Garcia Castro, thank you to Nicole Valdez, Senior Manager of Publicity at Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing for her help in arranging this interview.
