Meet Award-Winning Illustrator Raul the Third

Come meet children's book illustrator Raul the Third! He will be sharing his award-winning Lowriders in Space graphic novel series. In 2017, Raul the Third won the Pura Belpre award for outstanding work by a Latino/Latina writer/illustrator from the American Library Association for his illustration of Lowriders to the Center of the Earth. Raul the Third is also a widely-exhibited visual artist and has taught in the education departments of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Get an insightful look into his process as an artist, hear stories about his childhood and what inspires his work, and a behind the scenes look at the making of his books. After his engaging presentation, books will be available from Whitelam Books for purchase and signing.
