ABOUT LUPITA'S BROWN BALLET SLIPPERS...
Elizabeth Schleisman at Beaming Books has acquired world English rights to Lupita's Brown Ballet Slippers by Steena Hernandez (I.), illustrated by Melissa Castillo. Lupita is a dedicated ballerina who wants to shine in her big recital, but her peachy pink ballet slippers don't match her brown skin tone. After discovering that the right pair doesn't exist, she takes messy measures to have her slippers ready for her performance. Publication is set for fall 2024; Lynnette Novak at the Seymour Agency represented the author, and Erin Tisdel at Advocate Art Agency represented the illustrator.
