Meet the Author:
Richard Lopez is an award winning children's author originally from Hialeah,
FL. He has a high school diploma and has worked in healthcare information
technology for the past 15 years. He started to focus on writing in 2003 when
he went back to school and completed a certification for Sound Engineering at
S.A.E. He had a few poems published in books by the International Library of
Poetry. The Best Poems and Poets of 2003, Invoking the Muse, and The Best Poems
and Poets of 2005. He currently resides in St. Petersburg, FL and enjoys going
to see live music, and being outdoors. He started Three Little Birds Publishing
for his work on children's books. Looking for a Leprechaun is
his first children's book.
My Thoughts:
Looking for a Leprechaun is a
story about a Leprechaun by the name of Rich. Rich doesn’t yet know that he is a
leprechaun, especially the one that he is looking for. Rich has a problem; he
wants to belong and he doesn’t know where he belongs. He meets a fairy that
tells him to go looking for a leprechaun that will help him.
As Rich goes off on this
adventure it seems hopeless as he is only hearing that he does not belong.
Until the fairy meets him again with more advice and Rich will soon find what
he has been looking for all along. Himself, and after that, well, the whole
world sounds just a little bit different then.
This is a great story for kids
who are looking to belong and need just a little bit of a confidence booster.
It is a very imaginative story as well, especially in the colorful and bright
illustrations of the world where Rich lives. He meets ogres and trolls in the magical
places he visits. This is a unique story that stands out since I haven’t read many
stories about leprechauns.
I was provided a copy of this
storybook from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and
