title: Leo, The Fearless and Furless Lion
author:  Dyeneka Campa 
description: Dyeneka Campa is an Afro-Latina author and illustrator from Los Angeles, CA who strives to encourage young readers to embrace their cultural and ethnic characteristics. As a biracial female, she can attest to identifying as &quot;other&quot;. She chooses to use the power of literature to celebrate the growing diverse population.Whether the differences are in skin complexion, hair texture, body shape, or abilities, she believes we are all special and unique.<br /><br />Her recent work, &quot;Leo, The Fearless and Furless Lion&quot; highlights the harsh treatment a child may endure at school for simply looking different. Readers are invited to share empathy and even giggle at times as the protagonist, Leo, cleverly tries to overcome his challenge. The vibrant, fun illustrations alongside the inspiring story makes the message welcoming and entertaining.<br /><br />This new author is excited to produce more literary works in the near future.
