Lourdes Urrea (born 17 July 1954) is a Mexican author, artist and speaker. She wrote her first poems at the age of twelve, and her first mystery story when she was sixteen years old. She is the author of the "Cuentos de Escalofrío" and "Castillo del Terror" series for young readers.

Career

Urrea's short novels are used in the United States as reading material for bilingual middle graders. She is the author of "English for the Latin Student" and "Spanish for the Foreign Student" language textbooks, and of two books of poetry: "Versos Prohibidos" and "Historias familiares". Urrea's multimedia lecture "The Goodness of Reading" has been presented in libraries and schools around the world.

Urrea's writing depicts her vast traveling and her desire to give children a glimpse of the diversity of cultures in the world. Each of her stories takes place in a different country. In November 2008, Urrea was honored with the Doctor Honoris Causa appointment by the Latin American Council of Excellence in Education for her contribution to education in Latin American countries.
