Lorain Native Writes Multicultural Children’s Book
Lorain author Raquel M. Ortiz Rodriguez, raised by Puerto Rican immigrants, writes Sofi and the Magic Musical Mural about a girl who enters a mural in Old San Juan. The book blends music, carnival culture, and bilingual elements aimed at 4 to 8 year olds. Ortiz Rodriguez cites Latino and Black underrepresentation in children’s literature and notes her new Chicago-based project.
