"This concern, coupled with my enormous soft spot for children’s books, is why I was instantly smitten with Larry and Friends ( publisher ) — a heartening story about immigration, diversity, friendship, and acceptance, envisioned by Ecuadorian-born, New-York-based illustrator Carla Torres , who partnered with Belgian-born, Venezuelan-raised, New-York-based writer Nat Jaspar to bring the project, funded on Kickstarter, to life."
