Juana Medina - Luisa, at Your Service!

Juana Medina presents *Luisa, at Your Service!*, a lively picture book about Luisa, a generous and resourceful girl from Salento, Colombia. Although tourists come to her hometown to hike the famous Cocora Valley, Luisa believes they should experience more of Salento, so she postpones her chores to lead them on an unconventional tour. The story blends English and Spanish, with exuberant illustrations highlighting Luisa’s spirited adventures.

Medina is the creator of the Pura Belpré Award-winning chapter book *Juana & Lucas* and has illustrated other picture books, including *A Maleta Full of Treasures* by Natalia Sylvester. Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, she now lives with her family in the Washington, D.C., area.
