Local teenage author Lucy Lareau and her mom, Liz will present on their experience with publishing, writing, and much more!
The GEEKY F@B 5 series, illustrated by Ryan Jampole, spotlights five diverse students at the fictional Earhart Elementary school in the nonfictional Normal, Ill., who learn “when girls stick together, anything is possible.”
“It’s teamwork, girls working together, everybody’s happy — raising them up, but not over boys,” Lucy said of the series’ message of female empowerment. “Showing them what they’re able to do, and even more. This is just when you’re in elementary school.”
A fan of graphic novels by female authors such as Raina Telgemeier and CeCe Bell, Lucy first got the idea for her books when she was eight-years-old and wanted to encourage other girls to pursue the STEM-related career fields (science, technology, engineering and math) she was into."
