Today I’m interviewing Lulu Delacre, author and illustrator of the picture book Luci Soars and Us: In Progress, a middle grade collection of short stories.
Lulu is a three-time Pura Belpré Award honoree and has been writing and illustrating children's books since 1980. The New York Times Bestselling artist was born and raised in Puerto Rico to Argentinean parents.
Delacre has lectured internationally and served as a juror for the National Book Awards. She has exhibited at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, The Original Art Show at the Society of Illustrators in New York, the Museum of Art of Puerto Rico among other venues and Reading is Fundamental honored her with a Champion of Children’s Literacy Award.
Today, we’re talking about channeling grief to create something beautiful for others, how a reverence for your audience, no matter how small, can give your work purpose, and the healing power of writing to understand.
