Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos!
January 2012
Dear friends, An exciting new exhibit, Latino Folk Tales: Cuentos Populares : Art by Latino Artists, is scheduled to be shown in 7 states throughout the USA. Art from many award-winning children's book illustrators will be on display from 2012 to 2014, works of mine included. Check the schedule to catch a glimpse of a great show! In conjunction with the exhibit, many venues have organized visits by the featured artists to nearby schools and universities. I am pleased to be one of the speakers. 
It has garnered praise from WETA Reading Rockets: "It's a fine tool and an engaging book/game sure to be enjoyed by children with and without learning differences." "Oversized, colorful and interactive. . . 'Jay and Ben' is meant not only for autistic children but also for children with other developmental disorders like A.D.D. and A.D.H.D."–Pamela Paul, The New York Times This title is supported by a web site jayandbenbooks.com where you will find terrific instructional videos explaining some of the uses of JAY AND BEN and many free downloads that will enhance and extend the activities the book generates. Learn more about Jay and Ben and order a copy for that special child, friend, or educator in your life. They'll thank you.
Give the teens in your life a copy of Alicia Afterimage. 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. Consider purchasing the book for your nearest high school.
For more information on my work watch the WETA interviews where I talk about Alicia Afterimage and The Storyteller's Candle among other subjects. Peace to all into the New Year! Saludos, Lulu |

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. |
