Juana unveiled this on her Facebook page:
I'm thrilled to share a new collaboration we've been working on with the fantástico Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and the Library of Congress.
After months of preparation, it's time to share The Technicolor Adventures of Catalina Neon! These adventures will evolve and come to life with the help of 2nd and 3rd graders across the country, we can't wait to see where they'll take us!

And here's the Library's main page on it:
The Technicolor Adventures of Catalina Neon
Here’s how it works: Juana and I will create the initial chapter, but that’s only half the story. At the end of the chapter, we will include a prompt and give you a month to tell us where to go next. We ask that you and your second or third grade students read the prompt, talk about it, imagine what could happen next, and collaboratively help write the next chapter of Catalina’s adventure.
Hear it
Respond to Prompt – “Where does Tortilla go? Describe in detail—make us see, hear, and feel where Catalina’s doggy is!”

About the Project
Hello! I’m Juan Felipe Herrera, the 21st U.S. Poet Laureate. Welcome to “The Technicolor Adventures of Catalina Neon,” a bilingual, illustrated poem created with the help of artist Juana Medina ... and you. Elementary school librarians, get your second and third grade students “neonized” and help us tell Catalina’s story to the world!
Here’s how it works: Juana and I will create the initial chapter, but that’s only half the story. At the end of the chapter, we will include a prompt and give you a month to tell us where to go next. We ask that you and your second or third grade students read the prompt, talk about it, imagine what could happen next, and collaboratively help write the next chapter of Catalina’s adventure.
Hear itRespond to Prompt – “Where does Tortilla go? Describe in detail—make us see, hear, and feel where Catalina’s doggy is!”
Juana and I will select a
submission as a starting point for the next chapter—and you and your
classes will again be invited to write the next chapter of the
adventure. This process will continue five times until June 2017, when
Catalina Neon’s story will be complete!
What Happens Next?
Respond to prompt - “Where does Tortilla go? Describe in detail—make us see, hear, and feel where Catalina’s doggy is!”
