The Essay
Confident as educators and writers can seem, privately, we know our self-doubts. They are part of being fully conscious, alert to our realities. Mora is grateful to her friend R. Joseph Rodríguez, who years ago, when he was a teenager, wrote asking her to be his \"poet friend.\" The essay, unlike poetry and fiction, invites us (and our students) to articulate our opinions effectively, creatively, and at times, cleverly. Essays require thought, knowledge, organization, and occasionally humor. Wit seldom hurts. Her books Nepantla: Essays from the Land in the Middle and Zing! Seven Creativity Practices for Educators and Students are essay collections. She's grateful to the editors who encouraged her to write those books. Writing and teaching the essay require working inventively, appropriate words. Through experience in writing essays, the teacher or professor has the opportunity to share helpful suggestions with students.

2016 May Hill Arbuthnot Lecture
Many people deserved thanks for creating the special Arbuthnot Lecture in Santa Barbara. Such presentations are opportunities for the author to meditate, reflect, ponder. Muchisimas gracias, to the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), an active Dia partner, and to the Arbuthnot Committee. I began keeping a scribbly journal the afternoon of Sep 29, 2014, reminders of ideas the author wanted to include in the lecture and this essay. They are a community, thinking together about the importance of children, all their children, bundles of promise, who deserve and need to become readers for their sake -- and theirs. In one sense, that doesn't seem such a lofty goal for the world's most powerful nation. They have impressive national educational and library systems and a long tradition of aspiring to serve families in all their states and to be exemplars of the power of small and huge libraries, creatively and responsibly serving their patrons.
