In her new bilingual children's book A Surprise for Teresita/Una sorpresa para Teresita, author Dr. Virginia Sánchez-Korrol takes us back to the Cuban/Puerto Rican South Bronx neighborhood of her youth.
Seven -year-old Teresita dutifully obeys her mother's instructions to play in front of her apartment building while awaiting the arrival of her Uncle Ramón.

Houston Public Media's Eric Ladau spoke with Dr. Sánchez-Korrol.
