The Hat Fit Perfectly. Each poem was perfectly wrapped as a gift reminiscing moments in time. I cried, laughed and was in awe how the words came to life and were so relatable and inspiring. Love love love. Must read! So proud Tia L. You have always inspired me.

Mrs. Lupita Almaraz Aguilar tells you at the very beginning of her book that you may feel an array of emotions while reading “If The Hat Fits.” I couldn’t agree more. Lupita does a magnificent job connecting beautiful words to human emotion. From love, happiness, heartache, to loss...she hits nerves that take you back to memories we all know we don’t want to lose. Even after several re-reads, I feel like I connect in different ways to different stories. That’s what keeps me coming back.
Definitely pick it up — you won’t regret it!

Having an audience of both her peers and professionals is integral to her creative process in the field of utilizing her collection of poems. Mrs. Lupita Almaraz Aguilar has done just that by capturing her lingering memories that I personally can relate to. Her poems are very inspiring.

 “I am lost in words. Not only did I enjoy the book . . . my grandkids walk around the house saying the poems they read. For them to have learned them is 'cause they loved the book as much as I did. Each poem hits you with its own meaning in a special way that eases you and comforts you. It has so much meaning and brings back so many memories of when I was little. 💯❤️”

“I read the book quickly at first, anxious to get the tone of the book, and then again more slowly and quietly. There is levity and fun, memories and despair, some of which made me cry with her words. But, her optimism shines through to show her lasting love and strength. It is an emotional ride and one that I recommend to readers of all ages.”

“Well worth reading. I have had the good fortune of knowing Lupita- as a friend, and as a writer. I got my copy (finally) but the treasures therein were worth the wait. I love that she is so thorough with all of her poems! She doesn’t take anything “at the surface” she digs a little deeper, and it shows in her writing.”
