Children’s Books

“This poetic nonfiction manuscript is about Maria Lorena Ramirez, a member of the Tarahumara indigenous people of Chihuahua, Mexico, who runs in competitions around the world, day and night, over hot cracked earth, through cold wet rain, and up steep mountains, twenty, thirty, sometimes sixty miles. This story of persistence and competing without training or special equipment will inspire all to follow their passions.”

“LEE & LOW BOOKS is also proud to announce that Belen Medina Cabot of San Francisco, California, will receive the New Voices Award Honor for her picture-book manuscript ‘The Seesaws.’ Inspired by current events, Belen’s story follows two children who live on either side of the United States-Mexico border and the creative solution that allows them to play together.”
