When first reading the manuscript for Alithia Ramirez Was an Artist, New York Times bestselling author, Fulbright Scholar and publisher, Michael Sampson felt that it was an important story that needed to be told on behalf of the entire community affected by this Texas school tragedy: “It’s a beautiful book with an important message for today’s society, but most of all, it honors this young 10-year-old girl and keeps her dreams alive. My hope is that this story will continue the conversation about what is happening in our schools and encourage discussions that will bring about a positive change that embraces what Alithia teaches us: to live with love.”
“Alithia Ramirez Was an Artist reminds us why art is so powerful — and healing.” —Parents Magazine
“A book that embodies the light through the cracks in social injustice. Alithia Ramirez will paint the possibility of life without guns in schools in the heart of all readers. Uvalde will never be forgotten.” —F. Isabel Campoy, Member of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language, Award-Winning Author of Maybe Something Beautiful
“In this book, we can hear Alithia’s voice of love calling for us to be just as determined as she was at creating a world full of color, joy and peace, where children can be safe to dream the life they deserve. Viva Alithia!” —Yuyi Morales, Pura Belpre Medalist and Caldecott Honoree
