What is a lulo?
A lulo is a fruit that looks like an orange but isn’t an orange. Orange on the outside, green pulp on the inside, it has a complex citrus flavor with notes ranging from kiwi, pineapple, and rhubarb. The lulo is native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru and its name originates from the Quechua language. Due to its delicacy, it is difficult to ship lulos and they can’t be grown in the U.S., making them hard to find in the states.
Like the elusive lulo, high quality authentic Spanish titles can also be difficult to source in the U.S. And so, Lulo Libros was born!
"Having grown up in a mixed cultural home, I was always trying to find a way to connect the language of my peers with the language of my mother. Our community didn’t understand my mother’s native tongue, which forced her to assimilate and hide her authentic self. Her secret tongue was for the home, which made me want to also hide that part of our lives. Language is more than a means to communicate; it is identity, connection to our heritage, and gives us a feeling of belonging. What a difference it would have made if there were safe spaces created for her to express her bilingualism and allow her to feel like she belonged wherever she went."
