Recently, in talking about my books to someone locally, I noted how all of my books touch on kindness in some way and as I said it, I realized just how true this is. Kindness extended to others, whether human or animal, becomes a bridge between people and a way to build or mend relationships. Kindness. Grace. Love. For some, like LUPITA’S HURRICANE PALOMITAS, kindness becomes a way to navigate strong emotions. Tomorrow I’ll be at @venturexpb ‘s Vendor’s Market from 10-2! It’s a great place for family fun and to shop small and local. A little belated because…life. But I’m so honored to share that GROW UP, LUCHY ZAPATA received the bronze medal in the 2025 International Latino Book Awards for Best Chapter Fiction Book. Thank you to @empoweringlatinofutures judges for this beautiful recognition. @ssedlib @eastwestlit So honored to see OUR WORLD: COLOMBIA included in this wonderful roundup of Latinx books by @childrensbookcouncil perfect for Hispanic Heritage Month! Oh hey now! Thrilled to share that GROW UP, LUCHY ZAPATA is a finalist in the International Latino Book Awards for Best Chapter Fiction Book! What wonderful news to wake up to today. Huge thank you to the judges and @empoweringlatinofutures for selecting Luchy. New library stack! Join me on Sat. Aug. 23rd at 2 pm EST for a creative writing workshop through @shermanlibrary! ¡Feliz día de la independencia, Colombia 🇨🇴! Paperbacks of GROW UP, LUCHY ZAPATA flew onto shelves while I was away, and they’re available now wherever books are sold! (Link in bio) The paperbacks have the wonderful reading guide in them, so they’re a fantastic option for #teachers and schools.
