Zibby is joined by literary icon Sandra Cisneros to talk about her latest book, Martita, I Remember You, which she actually began writing in the early 1990s. The two talk about what made Sandra move forward with publishing this story now, why she feels the need to share as many stories as she can "with the time she has left," and what she would be doing if she weren't a writer (hint: it's still something incredibly creative).
