Lisa started writing for magazines and newspapers. Later, she wrote extensively on issues related to literacy and health that were featured in publications by the Canadian Public Health Association, several literacy organizations, and hospitals across Canada. She is the recipient of the CIBC Children\u2019s Miracle Maker Award for advancing literacy among people with special needs. Several years ago, Lisa partnered with\u00a0<\/span>Laurie Stein<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and began writing for children covering subjects from climate change to refugees. Her belief that \u201cstorytellers often sugarcoat real issues and present subjects to kids that are too far from reality in order to protect them. Just tell it the way it is. Kids appreciate authentic stories that are honest and real.\u201d More recently, Lisa has turned her attention to historical fiction, graphic novels, poetry and multimedia and has had the privilege of collaborating with\u00a0<\/span>John Kapelos<\/a><\/span>, Balaji Swaminath, Dr. Susan Wurtzburg, a poet, and Steven Landsberg, an advertising leader. Lisa\u2019s work has been translated into several languages and is widely recognized throughout Canada and the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_id=”recognition” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”35px|3%|30px|3%||” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_horizontal=”0px” box_shadow_vertical=”35px” box_shadow_blur=”65px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(188,163,146,0.1)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_font_size=”15px” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Prata||||||||” header_2_font_size=”45px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_font=”Nunito|700||on|||||” header_4_text_color=”#bda392″ header_4_letter_spacing=”2px” header_4_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”|||” animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”right” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”|25px||25px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lisalucas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/locomobi-the-new-york-times-logo-1500px.png” title_text=”locomobi-the-new-york-times-logo-1500px” url=”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/08\/30\/books\/review\/refugee-children-picture-day-war-came-nicola-davies.html” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lisalucas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/abafe5aa2364669fc7b003f697917989.jpg” title_text=”abafe5aa2364669fc7b003f697917989″ url=”https:\/\/www.kirkusreviews.com\/book-reviews\/lisa-lucas\/spectacularly-beautiful\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lisalucas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/MembershipBenefits_0002_Indigo.jpg” title_text=”MembershipBenefits_0002_Indigo” url=”https:\/\/www.chapters.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/when-the-earth-shook\/9780884488088-item.html” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lisalucas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/V6O1LBU2_400x400.png” title_text=”V6O1LBU2_400x400″ url=”https:\/\/www.netgalley.com\/book\/188764\/reviews” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lisalucas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Publishers_Weekly_logo.png” title_text=”Publishers_Weekly_logo” url=”https:\/\/www.publishersweekly.com\/9780884488088?permamore” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lisalucas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/download-1.png” title_text=”download (1)” url=”https:\/\/www.cmreviews.ca\/node\/2054″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About About Lisa Lucas Lisa started writing for magazines and newspapers.
