Lolis Aguila @lolisaguila

#lxpchat what is the first book you saw yourself in? Or the book that made you want to work in the industry?

As a kid, I saw my family (specifically my dad) in Gary Soto's work. But truthfully, it was #Selena (movie) that made me do this 🙌🏾 #lxpchat

I mostly acquire picture books & middle grade, but that’s not to say that the right YA project couldn’t knock me off my feet. :) #lxpchat
