(She/Her)

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Solany Lara is a Chicana who is the product of her immigrant parents' hard work and tenacity. Working as an academic interventionist, she assists K-8 students with their literacy development. She loves sharing her love of reading with everyone she encounters, as she believes that reading can have a profound effect on people’s lives. This has led her to pursue a Master's degree in Library Science at San Jose State University. She is currently working on her first book, Hija de mi padre, which is a tribute to her late father and is scheduled for publication by Alegria Publishing in 2023.
