ABOUT CINDY L. RODRIGUEZ
-
Hi! I’m Cindy L. Rodriguez, the author of the YA novel WHEN REASON BREAKS (Bloomsbury 2015), the essay ‘I’m a Survivor” in the anthology LIFE INSIDE MY MIND: 31 AUTHORS SHARE THEIR PERSONAL STRUGGLES (Simon Pulse 2018), and VOLLEYBALL ACE (2020), DRILL TEAM DETERMINATION (2021), and GYMNASTICS PAYBACK (2021), all part of Capstone’s Jake Maddox series. My most recent projects are a graphic novel, THE DOOMED SEARCH FOR THE LOST CITY OF Z (Capstone 2022) and my picture book debut, THREE POCKETS FULL: A story of love, family, and tradition. I am one of the founders of the blog Latinxs in Kid Lit and a member of the NESCBWI Equity and Inclusion Team. When I am not doing writerly things, I am working as a middle school reading specialist in Connecticut or hanging with my family and two mutts.
