About
Karina Nicole González is the author of the Pura Belpré Author and Illustrator Honor Book, The Coquíes Still Sing / Los coquíes aún cantan. Her newest picture book, Churro Stand / El carrito de churros was recently selected by the New York Public Library as one of the best picture books of 2024. Karina is also a bilingual speech-language pathologist (MS, CCC-SLP, BE) and works as a tele-therapist at an Adult Transition Program in Fresno, CA from her home in Brooklyn, NY. Formerly, she worked as a school-based SLP at a Title I public school in Brooklyn, NY for 7 years. While targeting students’ storytelling skills through therapy, their boundless imaginations inspired this dream to write picture books of her own.
