Hispanic Heritage Month – Day 5 – My guest today is the award-winning Lupe Ruiz-Flores. Please go by and welcome her and learn about her books and inspiration for her books. She also has a new book coming in the fall of 2023 – Piece by Piece.

Check my blog: https://lmgonzalez.wordpress.com/blog/

Also, check Books Page on Ms. Ruiz-Flores’ website, a truly wonderful list of bilingual children’s books, which sometimes feature “Lupita” and her adventures.

Here is a picture of the author at a reading. The book cover is of “Lupita’s Papalote”, one of her first books and the first book I bought of hers several years ago.

We call each other “Tocaya” since we’re both named Lupe.

Congratulations on your many awards and successes.

I am excited about my historical fiction picture book coming out in 2023. I did quite a bit of research for this book and enjoyed every moment. Will let you know when publication gets closer.
