Lisa Lucas Author

Lisa Lucas started her career writing for Reader’s Digest and has written children’s books, scripts for movies and television, and historical fiction for middle-grade readers. She has received the CIBC Children’s Miracle Maker Award and the Canada Post Community Literacy Award. Laurie Stein has illustrated children’s literature for many Canadian and U.S. publishers. Lisa Lucas and Laurie teamed up a decade ago and have created more than thirty children’s books together, tackling such contentious subjects as refugee children, climate change, and sexual violence. Their belief that children deserve to know the truth inspires their work, which was recently recognized by The Canadian Children’s Book Centre.
