Rising Stars in KidLit began as a way to highlight my fellow kidlit creators who are working their tails off to birth their beautiful book babies into the world. These interviews cast a light on the wonderful work of pre-published or pre-agented authors and author-illustrators who are destined to be stars! Today we’re hosting a special Spotlight series with author, Federico Erebia, so we can learn all about his path to publication! Federico has also offered to giveaway advanced reader copies of his debut novel, Pedro & Daniel, illustrated by Julie Kwon, to THREE lucky winners! Make sure to read all the way to the end of the interview for details on how to enter the giveaway. Thanks, Federico! |
