        Lucky Diaz is a Grammy Award-winning, multi–Latin Grammy-winning author, musician, and taco lover whose storytelling spans music, television, and literature. As a first-generation Mexican American, his work celebrates identity, joy, and community, bringing vibrant, bilingual narratives to young readers.

        His debut picture book, Paletero Man, became an instant classic, earning starred reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and ALA Booklist. Recognized for its heartfelt storytelling and cultural richness, the book established Lucky as a dynamic voice in children's literature. All his picture books, including La Guitarrista and his most recent, Fix-It Familia, continue his mission of uplifting Latiné stories.

        Before entering the literary world, Lucky redefined family entertainment as the frontman of Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band. His trailblazing career in children's music earned historic Grammy and Latin Grammy wins and acclaim from Billboard, NPR, and the New York Times. His Emmy-winning PBS series, Lishy Lou and Lucky Too, showcased his creativity in children's television.

        Lucky lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Alisha, their daughter, Indiana, and their dog, Django.
