More About the Author
LULU DELACRE has been writing and illustrating children's books for almost thirty years, striving to create quality literature. Her Latino heritage and her wide ranging life experiences inform her books.
Delacre's many beloved books include Horn Book Fanfare Book, "Arroz con Leche: Popular Songs and Rhymes from Latin America" and "Salsa Stories", an IRA Outstanding International Book. "The Bossy Gallito", "Arrorro mi nino: Latino Lullabies and Gentle Games" and "The Storyteller's Candle" are winners of the Pura Belpre Honor Medal for Illustration.
"Alicia Afterimage", the author's latest work is the Delacre's first book for young adults. It was written in memory of her daughter, who was killed in a car accident at the age of sixteen. After Alicia's death in 2004, Delacre interviewed twenty-two of her daughter's friends; the thoughts, emotions, and memories they shared became the basis for the book. "I believe that if this book helps bring some solace to others who must endure grief," she says, "it will have achieved its goal."
Delacre has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and France. She is a grantee of the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, Maryland, and has been honored both as a Maryland Woman in the Arts and as a Write from Maryland Author.
A native of Puerto Rico, Delacre lives in Maryland.
