Fall Fiesta
Join the fiesta!
kids can be co-authors with me
Veo, Veo, I See You has just been published. I’m thrilled that this interactive book is engaging children. Do you know a kid who’d like to be a co-author with me? This short video tells you how they can!
“this [book] is a wonderful choice for expanding bilingual titles on offer” – SLJ
Latinx KidLit Book Festival
It’s great to once again be a part of this amazing virtual gathering of some of the best and brightest Latino voices of today. It’s my first time ever to be part of an Illustrator Draw-Off! So you don’t want to miss if I succeed or fail miserably at it. Either way, it’s a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Live this Friday September 29 and en español.
Thoughts on Writing
The use of Spanish in children’s books published in the United States and how it has evolved in recent decades is a subject I enjoyed writing about for SCBWI. Enjoy the read.
Cool GREEn News
Just recently Cool Green: Amazing, Remarkable Trees and Verde fresco: Árboles asombrosos y extraordinarios were selected for the Skipping Stones Honors Award. I’m delighted.
“The author has found the strangest and most fascinating trees for us to reflect on…Both books present a delightful celebration of trees around the world.”
