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.

THE WIND KNOWS MY NAME, by Isabel AllendeIf the measure of a civilization is the way in which it cares for its most vulnerable, by most standards, ours isn’t doing too well. Consider the record number of family separations at the U.S. border under President Donald J. Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy; as of February 2023, on the second anniversary of the creation of President Biden’s Family Reunification Task Force, close to 1,000 children still remained separated from their families. This travesty and tragedy is the engine of Isabel Allende’s new novel, “The Wind Knows My Name.” The deliberate cruelty of the bureaucracies that enforce the separations, and the enduring psychic wounds these ruptures inflict on children, are the novel’s foundation and its psychological backbone. All of the characters in this timely, provocative story carry the weight of painful history, and their lives converge near the end of the book.
