Children’s author Lisa Caprelli revealed her inspirational path from a shy young girl to a successful writer who now travels city by city, visiting elementary schools to promote a message of self-love and acceptance in a recent ABC 7 AUTHOR VISITS interview in El Paso, Texas. Caprelli discussed how her passion of writing turned into a transforming tool in her life, enabling her to get over her personal fears and shyness as part of a week-long series.
Currently based out of Southern California, traveling the world, Lisa is born and raised in El Paso, Caprelli has published over 22 books, most notably the hit Unicorn Jazz series. Along with her varied group of animal pals, her tales center on a special unicorn with a musical note for a tail who negotiates the difficulties of embracing her differences. Reflecting Caprelli’s own life events of having people believe in her, beginning with her grandmother, Wolf the Crow is a constant friend in her stories who believes in Unicorn Jazz.
Caprelli interacts with pupils in a manner that really speaks to them during her school visits. Librarians and teachers have seen how young readers connect with her characters and themes. Youngsters who identify as Wolf the Crow or Unicorn Jazz often come forward to share their own challenges with shyness or feeling odd. Like she did, Caprelli exhorts young children to embrace their love of writing as a means of expression and confidence building tool.
Teachers, Librarians, & PTA Parents Love Unicorn Jazz Author Visits!

School Author Visit Review, Created Assembly Style for the Entire School — Grades TK-6:
Ms. Caprelli showed up for an author visit at our school first thing all smiles and hugs with a life size Unicorn Jazz in tow. She set up in our library with Jazz and tons of activities and extras for teachers. All of our kindergarteners squealed with delight and were truly in awe. Lisa shared her story about how she and her team came to create the Unicorn Jazz book. She read them Bee-ing Happy Book and truly engaged every student about what the characters and scenes in each page meant to her.
We had a writers workshop with 5th graders next. She shared her book and explained how to use the writing template she provided. They were all so inspired and excited to collaborate and then share in small groups, their own stories in a speed writing session. We moved on to an assembly with our 2nd thru 4th graders, approximately 230 students.
She shared with them the Unicorn Jazz friendship song. Everyone danced, clapped, high-fived and sang along. We were then treated to a sneak peek of her newest book Eye See You. Everyone was overjoyed and can’t wait for its release! After that we moved on to a group of our 1st graders who were again in awe of Ms. Caprelli and giant Jazz. We ate lunch in the library with several of my library helpers. She got to know them a bit, even took the time to listen to a short story one of them created about Jazz. She had another wonderful reading & singing session with more kinder and TK students. We had one more exciting writers workshop with more 5th graders. Then sadly we had to say goodbye. All along the way she was posing for pictures for and with us: Signing books, cards and notebooks for anyone who asked. She smiled all through the ambitious day I scheduled for us.
She is such a humble and kind soul. We were all Unicorn Jazz fans before she came, but she made this a day that anyone who met her will not soon forget! We feel truly honored to have had her at McKinley Elementary and can’t wait for her to return. ~Librarian, Ashley Fisher, Tracy Unified School District
