Aida Salazar is an award winning author for her book, The Moon Within and in progress of writing Land of Cranes which is going to be published in 2020.
Aida Salazar is an award winning author and has written many books. Her latest book, The Moon Within, published by Scholastic in 2019, is about a girl named Celi Rivera and is going through her menstruation cycle, and is having a moon ceremony. She doesn’t want a lot of attention, so she talks to her friends about what she is going through. While she is going through family drama, she is also experiencing some at school: one of her freinds is transgender male, and is getting bullied because of it. Fortunately, all of her friends are there to comfort them.
Writing books can be hard when you have no encouragement. “The encouragement I got was from my friend who mentioned me in a book, and my 5th grade teacher Mr. Clark for giving me that pen and encouraging me,” Salazar said. Some of her books are banned because it’s “not appropriate”.
Salazar wanted better for her daughter's generation, so she wrote The Moon Within, a coming of age novel written in verse. The story centers around Celi Rivera, an 11-year-old girl growing up in Oakland, who is mortified that her mother wants to celebrate her first period with a moon ceremony.”
“The symbol of the sun is an alchemy symbol. It is a symbol of origin that represents the completion of the Great Work. The sun will represent life, influence, and strength. He will symbolize energy, will, being clear, and self.”Says https://www.sunsigns.org/sun-symbol-meanings/
Salazar said”No I didn't go through the moon ceremony because I grew up in a Cathlic home.”
