This book deal has been a few months in the making, but now that the ink is dry between me and the publisher, I can finally let everyone know how I’m feeling on the inside:
Really, who wouldn’t be tickled pink about getting to write for children?
I’m especially proud that my first book published will be a picture book, Lucía the Luchadora. It’s a girl superhero meets lucha libre book and will be published by POW! Kids Books, the Brooklyn-based independent children’s book publisher. I’ll share more details once an official announcement is made. I’ve seen some of the early illustrations for it and it’s looking amazing. Move over Mujer Maravilla, Lucía the Luchadora has arrived.
Okay, Lucía may have some mad lucha skills, but that Wonder Woman spin is still dope.
