Hoarding books and sweaters since the early 80’s. Chicana/Mestiza PB author rep’d by Amy Jameson at A+B Works. 12x12, SCBWI THE LAST SLICE 2023, PALABRAS 2024
I write books that celebrate people and nature in all their quirky glory. Empowering kids to embrace their experiences without apology and see their own faces in the books they read.
