Lisa Caprelli is proud of her Latin roots and culture, growing up with humble beginnings in the sun city of El Paso, Texas. She has made Southern California her home for the past 20 years with her family. Traveling and doing book tours is important to reach as many children, educators, parents, and school librarians with positive and meaningful social lessons to promote reading, writing, team building, and children's writer workshops. She enjoys creative writing, speaking and researching to create a culture of understanding and communication sprinkled with happiness. Her hobbies include painting, cooking, hiking and walking on the beach. The Unicorn Jazz series are based on lessons and experiences she had growing up with her siblings and also that as a mother. Her inquisitive nature of understanding human behavior drew her to study and graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Social Psychology. The best part of my work is connecting with children to create connection, harmony, and happiness combined with story, art and song that focus on many social aspects like friendship, kindness, and love."
