“A book for you is a book for the children of Guanacaste.” With that message, La Voz de Guanacaste and its community of readers and supporters are launching a new campaign to donate inspiring children’s books to public libraries across the province.
For just ¢3,000, when you purchase a copy of Cuentos de Guanacaste para Niñas Poderosas (Stories from Guanacaste for Powerful Girls), you’ll also be donating a second copy to a local library—a simple yet meaningful way to support childhood literacy and female representation.
This book, produced by La Voz, brings together the stories of eight courageous women from across Guanacaste who blazed trails in their communities, opening doors for future generations of dreamers. Among them are Lucrecia Pastrana, volunteer firefighter; Jimena Ruiz, adaptive surfing world champion and María Bolandi, Guanacaste’s first female marimba player.
The stories were researched and documented by La Voz’s editorial team, adapted into children’s tales by author Carla Pravisani, and beautifully illustrated by artist María Zúñiga.
According to Noelia Esquivel Solano, editor of La Voz, this book is both a tribute to the women who’ve left a lasting mark on Guanacaste and a source of inspiration for the girls and boys who are dreaming and building their own futures today.
We believe that stories can transform lives—and these stories, filled with fearless women, can plant seeds of hope and ambition in the hearts of Guanacaste’s children.”
