70 years old (Born on December 20, 1954)
Happy birthday to the remarkable Sandra Cisneros! Your stories have hollered louder than Woman Hollering Creek itself, capturing hearts and sparking imaginations for decades. Though it's not polite asking a storyteller her age—let's just agree your books look eternally youthful on our shelves.From "The House on Mango Street" that made us smile knowingly at the trials of growing up, to snagging prestigious honors like the American Book Award and Clay McDaniel Fellowship—you've certainly penned some unforgettable chapters yourself. Here's raising a toast (and possibly a pen) in celebration: May your next adventures be as vibrant as Esperanza’s dreams!
