Meet Mexican author Erika Meza and listen to her story about two young siblings' journey across the Mexican/ US border in To the Other Side.
Hear how, wearing colourful masks for courage and speed, the siblings stay on the move - relying on each other as they attempt to reach their difficult goal.
Stay for drawing, dress-up and a playful animal mask workshop with the author.
Author Erika Meza migrated from the border of Tijuana and San Diego, Mexico in 2013, spending time studying in Paris and eventually settling in London, where she lives and works as an author/ illustrator today. Other titles include As Brave as a Lion and the illustration of My Two Border Towns and Balloons for Papa.
