Please join us to hear Sonia Manzano, author and one of the first Hispanic actresses on television. She inspired, educated, and delighted children as "Maria" on Sesame Street for over 40 years.

Throughout her career, she has continued to contribute to enriching diversity on television, on the stage, and in the educational realm. Manzano was raised in the South Bronx, where her involvement in the arts was inspired by teachers who encouraged her to audition for the High School of Performing Arts. She was accepted there and began her career as an actress. Recently, Scholastic and Manzano partnered to launch two middle-grade novels and two picture books. Some of Manzano's other books include her memoir, Becoming Maria: Love and Chaos in the South Bronx (Scholastic), a Christmas picture book, Miracle of 133rd Street (Simon & Schuster) and A World Together. Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
