Susan Lowell, Author of The Three Little Javelinas / Los tres pequeños jaba

Chino Valley Public Library
1020 West Palomino Road
Chino Valley, AZ, 86323

2010 OneBookAZ for Kids Book winner Everyone knows the story of the three little pigs, but now you are going to meet the three little javelinas - wild, southwestern cousins of pigs. Living in homes of built of tumbleweeds and cacti, the first two javelinas are soon running from the hungry coyote, who had hoped to eat them with red chili sauce. And where do they go for shelter? Why, to their wise sister, who made her house with strong adobe bricks. Although she happened to be born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Susan Lowell is a fourth-generation Arizonan descended from explorers, ranchers, prospectors, and schoolmarms. At the age of seven she began to write little books, illustrating them with crayons and binding them with Scotch tape, and she has never stopped.
