Elizabeth's first book is out! Published by Children's Book Press of San Francisco, "The Upside Down Boy" is Juan Felipe Herrera's memoir of the year his migrant family settled down so that he could go to school for the first time. Jaunito is bewildered by the new school and misses the warmth of country life. Everything he does feels upside down: He eats lunch when it's recess, he goes out to play when it's time for lunch, and his tongue feels like a rock when he speaks English. But his sensitive teacher and loving family help him find his voice through poetry, art, and music. For this book, Elizabeth created 15 original paintings using acrylic on paper. |
