Happy Birthday, Lucia Gonzalez! May your day be filled with more joy than Señor Cat's romantic escapades and brighter than The Storyteller’s Candle. Your magical puppetry has charmed countless hearts—both young and old—and we’re still trying to figure out how you manage to pull so many smiles from behind a puppet stage!Congratulations on all you've achieved—from captivating readers worldwide with beloved tales like "Señor Cat's Romance" to earning the prestigious Pura Belpré Children's Literature Honor Medal in 2008. Here's wishing that this year brings even greater adventures, endless inspiration, and perhaps another award or two (because why stop now?). Happy storytelling birthday!
