AUTHOR VISITS
I do author visits and enjoy them very much. I tailor the visit to the
needs of each school. The librarian selects the classes I will visit
and sets the class schedule.
S Sometimes, teachers want me to discuss an aspect of writing.
Sometimes, they want me to walk the students through the process
of a book becoming a book.
For 7th and 8th graders, I often talk to history classes about the
American Revolution. The Revolutionary War comes alive through
little-known stories and a mock inoculation for small pox.
My novels include:
The Lorenzo series about the American Revolution (5th-8th grade):
Lorenzo's Secret Mission
Lorenzo's Revolutionary Quest
Lorenzo and the Turncoat
Lorenzo and the Pirate
Kichi in Jungle Jeopardy (Ideal for World Culture Classes)
Green Slime and Jam
NON-FICTION:
George Lopez: King of Latino Comedy
Famous Hispanics Series: Grades 2 and 3.
Cesar Chavez
Roberto Clemente
Frida Kahlo
Diego Rivera
Ellen Ochoa
George Lopez
Honorarium: Contact me by email for information about fees. Put the

Testimonials:
"Lila does one of the best author visits I have ever seen." Madeline Smoot,
editor
"My colleagues and I were talking about your wonderful ability
to reach kids through speech as well as text. I can't tell you how delighted
I am that you are willing to come to Oak Hill again." Sandra Burnside,
3rd grade teacher
"Thank you so much for coming to Oak Springs and presenting to our
children. I know that they enjoyed it very much! You were so wonderful
with the kids. I was really impressed with how you spoke to the different
grade levels at their level and "reeled them back in" when their minds
were starting to wander. I hope we see you next year. Librarian, Oak
Springs Elementary, Austin I.S.D.
