Author Lourdes Fasani Introduces Young Readers to Luli’s Experiences Through Stories of Family, Heritage, and Resilience
Marianao, Cuba – September 10, 2026 Lourdes Fasani announces the release of the Luli children’s book series, a collection of heartfelt stories inspired by the experiences of a young Cuban immigrant navigating life in America. Through Luli’s journey, young readers are invited to explore themes of family, cultural identity, friendship, gratitude, and the courage it takes to embrace change.
Drawing from her own childhood experiences as an immigrant from Cuba, Fasani brings readers into Luli’s world as she leaves behind her familiar home and begins a new chapter in the United States. The series captures meaningful childhood moments, from adjusting to a new school and discovering unfamiliar foods to experiencing new holidays, traditions, and environments.
The Luli series highlights the emotions children may experience when entering an unfamiliar world. Through each story, readers discover how kindness from teachers, neighbors, and family members can help children feel welcomed and supported during times of transition.
The books explore important moments in Luli’s journey, including her first experiences with American school life, her family’s first Thanksgiving celebration, her first snowfall after moving from Cuba, and the emotional farewell she faces when leaving her homeland. Each story celebrates the connections that help children create a sense of belonging while honoring the traditions that shape their identity.
“Stories have the ability to preserve memories and help children understand experiences beyond their own,” says Lourdes Fasani. “Through Luli’s journey, I hope young readers see the importance of compassion, family, cultural appreciation, and embracing new experiences.”
The Luli series is designed for families, educators, and young readers who value stories that encourage empathy and cultural awareness. Teachers can use the books as meaningful tools for classroom discussions about diversity, inclusion, immigration, and the importance of understanding different backgrounds.
Fasani’s background as a bilingual educator has influenced her approach to storytelling. After arriving in the United States as a child, she experienced the challenges of learning a new language and adapting to a different culture. Her career working with English learners further shaped her commitment to sharing stories that help children feel represented and understood.
The Luli series offers a reminder that every child’s journey matters. Through family traditions, personal memories, and moments of discovery, these stories celebrate the experiences that connect people across cultures.
