Pilar Lozano

La historia, los viajes y la abuela

Colombian Pilar Lozano is a journalist, children’s and young adult literature writer and promoter of reading and writing. She will talk about her latest book: La historia, los viajes y la abuela.

The objective: to weave, with everyone, the history of the country, from the first dwellers, passing through the conquest, the pirate attacks, the African slave-trade and the Botanical Expedition, until they arrive to the day in which the Spaniards pack their things and leave this land for good. With the vivacity that defines her, Pilar Lozano tells the history of Colombia in a very entertaining way, in a book full of travelling, colour and adventures. The book also includes full-colour illustrations by Paula Bossio. From 10 years on
