Then life happens, everyone grows up and go on their merry way. As an adult and in her very little spare time she was able to start a hobby that became a rewarding passion. Working in a fast paced, stressful insurance industry for 20+ years, her release would be the arts. She loves creating, designing, learning a new skill to constantly challenge herself. With the lively imagination from her daughter, niece, and nephews, and their passion for reading it was a very easy process to bring her daughter's made-up childhood stories to life. Recognizing that our children need to see more multi-cultural and bilingual books with characters that represent them, her first book incorporates English and Spanish translations on the same page. Installing Bilingual fictional reading entices the imagination giving power of creation while practicing a second language. The city children can not only relate to her but also enjoy story-time filled with arts, crafts, and chocolate treats.
