Interested in having a book presentation or author visit at your school or library? My Lowriders in Space presentations can include an author presentation about the books, an opportunity for photos with the lowrider characters, and workshops in making zines or comics with ballpoint pens, the Lowriders in Space way. For Ten Ways to Hear Snow, we can read the book, think up our own snow noises, or do a craft to make a stuff grape leaf envelope. I also do zine workshops for educators and kids. I have worked with audiences from preschool to adult, and as a librarian, can tailor my talk to include discussions on how to do research, how to write, the importance of diversity in kids books and how my books came to be.
Questions about content or cost? Contact me, let’s work something out!
