Ana Maria Reyes Does Not Live In A Castle
"Ana Maria does not Live in a Castle" follows the story of Ana Maria, a Dominican girl living in the Bronx.
Being a Dominican myself I cannot tell you how happy I was to take on this project.
The overall art direction called for Ana Maria standing in front of her apartment complex in the Bronx. Since the writer and design team had a pretty clear art direction for the book cover, the process was short and straight forward.
Book Details:
This fun middle grade novel comes from Dominican writer Hilda Eunice Burgos and published by Lee & Low.
