As a writer, she believes that reading can not only amuse and educate, but also inspire, and transform. She is the author of the “Cuentos de Escalofrío” and “Castillo del Terror” series for young readers, and of “English for the Latin student” and “Spanish for the foreign student” language text books. She has also written two books of Poetry “Versos Prohibidos” and “Historias familiares” as well as numerous essays and newspaper articles.
As a speaker, her commitment to promote reading has taken her to all sorts of audiences and countries. Her multimedia lecture “The goodness of Reading” has been presented in libraries, schools and theatres around the world, and inspired children and adults to take up reading as an enriching life experience.
Her writing depicts her vast traveling and the author’s desire to give children a glimpse of the diversity of cultures in the world. Each one of her stories takes place in a different country. In 2008 Lourdes Urrea was honored with the Doctor Honoris Causa appointment by the Latin American Council of Education, for her contribution to education in Latin American countries.
