Award winning Mexican and American illustrator and author Duncan Tonatiuh is coming to visit Lindbergh Elementary School Monday, April 9. He is the author of “The Princess and the Warrior,” “Funny Bones,” “Separate Is Never Equal,” “Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote,” “Diego Rivera: His World and Ours” and “Dear Primo.” He is the illustrator of “Esquivel!” and “Salsa.” Many students can see their own experiences reflected in his children’s books.

He will join Lindbergh Elementary for an all school assembly, meet and work with students and classes individually and speak at a family night to celebrate Latino culture.

Special thanks to Narvella Davis-Willis and MSCR, Principal Lindsay Maglio, Clara Elena Salinas, Mandy Meloy and Lindbergh families, students and staff.
