Lucia Lacorte, Poor Sport

For ages: 6-8

Description:
Lucia Lacorte loves games. But few friends enjoy playing games with her. When she loses, she cries and yells. And when she wins, its even worse: She dances around and rubs it in. You see, Lucia Lacorte is a very poor sport. Can anyone get through to Lucia and show her that being a good sport is the fun in fun and games? Author Christianne Jones uses humor and a helpful rhyme to teach early learners about the importance of good sportsmanship in this entertaining picture book from the Little Boost series.

About the illustrator:

I'm a freelance illustrator based in Madrid, Spain. I lived in Barcelona for almost a couple of years where I graduated in a MA Illustration at Eina School in Barcelona in 2009. After a few years working as an Art Director in several advertising agencies, I decided to quit and try as a full time illustrator. So far, I've worked with many international clients from United States, Australia, UK, France or Singapore. I've been published by Penguin Ramdon House, Simon & Schuster, SM, Nosy Crow, Sterling or Little Tiger Press.

In my spare time, I'm a Asthanga yogi, a classic cinema lover and go also crazy for music and lemon pies.
