Stella Villalba was raised and nurtured in a bicultural and bilingual household. Born in Argentina to parents from Paraguay, Stella learned that being a multilingual learner is a superpower and it’s through those lenses that she teaches, listens and leads everyday. She has taught in Dual Education Schools and in English as a Second Language programs. She is currently a Teacher Leader and a Staff Developer coaching and mentoring educators to be ready for a Global Education that is rooted in multilingualism, and culturally & community sustaining pedagogy. She uses diverse children’s literature as an essential pedagogy in teaching with children which is why it brings her joy being a curator for Bookelicious. She has a Bachelors in Foreign Language Teaching; a Master of Arts in Language, Literacy and Culture with a specialization in Children’s Literature and is currently pursuing a PhD degree at The Ohio State University in Equity and Multicultural Studies. Stella’s love languages include reading a huge stack of children’s books on Saturday mornings, going for long walks and listening to music. And when the Soccer World Cup is on, you will most likely find her cheering for Argentina.
