Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos!


June 2010

Dear friends,

I have good news to share. Alicia Afterimage, was not only selected as a 2009 Honor book by the Society of School Librarians International, but also made the Top 40 List of the Pennsylvania School Librarian Association.

In addition it was very recently featured in Becky Weinheimer's Blog.

I am also thrilled that The Storyteller's Candle was chosen to be a part of the Spirit of PaperTigers Project. PaperTigers, and initiative of the non profit group, Pacific Rim Voices, is donating a selection of books which reflect its aims, to children in areas of need in different parts of the world. A worthwhile endeavor!






Remember that Lee & Low Books is still offering a 50% off and free ground shipping on orders of 10 or more copies of Alicia Afterimage purchased non-returnable for an event. This is quite the deal. Consider purchasing the book for your students prior to any school visit you have scheduled with me.


For more information on my latest books you might want to see the WETA video interviews where I talk about Alicia Afterimage and The Storyteller's Candle among other subjects.

And the awards for The Storyteller's Candle keep coming!

2009 ALA Notable
Pura Belpré Honor Medal for Text
Pura Belpré Honor Medal for Illustration
Skipping Stones Award
Latino Book Awards Honorable Mention
Jane Addams Honor Award
Américas Honor Award
2010 Spirit of PaperTigers Book Set

Saludos,

Lulu


Art Sale!


In the many years that I have been illustrating children's books, I have created hundreds of pieces. Although some have found their way into museums, galleries, and private collections, I still have watercolors, oil paintings, and linoleum prints, in search of an art lover.

If you like my artwork, and are interested in purchasing a piece, use any of my books as a catalog to choose from. Then contact me and I will be happy to discuss the availability of the piece in question.
