In this interview, we chat with Andy Amendola, the creator of Red Racer Books, whose mission is to introduce young readers to the multifaceted world of motorsports. Through vividly illustrated stories, the books highlight diverse characters in various roles, inspiring curiosity and showcasing opportunities beyond the driver’s seat. By focusing on science, technology, teamwork, and diversity, Andy aims to ignite dreams, foster bonds between parents and children, and encourage a love for discovery and shared passion.
Andy shares his personal journey of becoming an author and micro-publisher, which began during the pandemic with some TV binge-watching and a Kickstarter campaign. What started as a newfound hobby has blossomed into a meaningful platform for introducing young readers to Formula 1 racing while celebrating cultural diversity and promoting STEM education. He also reflects on the joy of involving his family in this exciting creative endeavor.
As a first-generation American with roots in Uruguay, Andy opens up about how family expectations have shaped his career path. He explores the unique experience of being a “modern Latino,” balancing two cultural worlds. This conversation offers insights for aspiring authors and is packed with inspiration for anyone chasing their dreams. Don’t miss this compelling episode!
