NEW YORK (AP) — After 40 years of publishing and millions of book sales worldwide, Isabel Allende is ready to become a children's author. Allende has a deal with Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, for three picture books. Illustrated by Sandy Rodriguez and inspired by Allende's rescue dog, “Perla” is the story of a dog with a big heart, a loud bark and fierce loyalty to her human soulmate, Nico Rico. Perla is joyful, loyal, loves unconditionally and is always ready to protect her family,” Allende said in a statement Wednesday. Allende, 81, is known for such novels as “The House of the Spirits” and “Eva Luna.”Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

[1/5] A woman dressed in black holds a candle as she walks around La Moneda presidential palace during an event ahead of the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Chilean military coup, in Santiago, Chile, September 10, 2023. Victims of military rule and their families have ramped up a push for justice and accountability, but politically the far-right has gained ground amid growing fears over rising crime. "Some people don't know anything about what happened and aren't interested, others are tired that...even after 50 years, many people still don't know what happened to their disappeared relatives," said Elvira Cádiz, who was six years old in 1973. According to various Chilean human rights commissions, there are 40,175 victims classified as politically executed, disappeared, imprisoned and tortured during military rule. "We don't know if we will achieve complete justice, but what we do have to do is get to the truth, find out where they are."
