Local children's book author and illustrator Rob Liu-Trujillo will join us to do a reading of Alejandria Fights Back, a story about housing justice.
Join nine-year-old Alejandria as she fights to save her neighborhood in this bilingual picture book, written by Leticia Hernández-Linares and the Rise-Home Stories Project, and illustrated by Robert Liu-Trujillo. Robert will share behind the scenes sketches, and answer all your questions!
Robert Liu-Trujillo is a lifelong Bay Area resident. Born in Oakland, California, he is the child of student activists who watched lots of science fiction and took him to many demonstrations. Always drawing, Rob grew up to be an artist, falling in love with graffiti, fine art, illustration, murals, and children’s books. Through storytelling, he’s been able to scratch the surface of so many untold stories. He is the author and illustrator of Furqan’s First Flat Top.
