Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Education
Service Center, Region 2, TCEA Technology Conference in Corpus Christi, Texas. Four
other authors and illustrators were in attendance as well. Librarians and
teachers packed the center. We presented and talked about our books. I always
enjoy going to Corpus Christi. The city has some fabulous eating places.
Watching the seagulls fly over the bay lifts my spirit. It is a great place to
visit.
I now have my two latest books in my hands. They
arrived a few days ago from the publisher. The books are now in bookstores and
online. The illustrations in Lupita’s
First Dance/El Primer Baile de Lupita and Let’s Salsa/Bailemos Salsa are gorgeous. The colors are vibrant and
full of energy. I am so pleased with the art that the illustrators, Robert
Casilla and Gabhor Utomo, did on my books. Such talented people!
There is a brand new SCBWI website where you can view my books, the
synopsis for each one, and book reviews. Just click on Member Bookstore
and type in my name: Lupe Ruiz-Flores and my books come up! Awesome website!
“The struggle to master a medium, whether it’s words, notes, paint, or marble, is the heroic part of making art.” – Chris Van Allsburg
