2023 - A Magical Year!

I'm so grateful for what has been a magical year 🥲

Thank you all for your support. I could not have done this without you all. Thank you for buying my books for yourselves, your kids, your nieces and nephews, your schools, your grandbabies, and more. Thank you for requesting my books at your local library and/or bookstore. Thank you for reviewing my books and for coming to my events. Thank you for boosting my work on your social media accounts. It takes a village, and I appreciate you all being part of my community.

Let’s review!

This year, I released TWO book babies!!!

I spoke at and/or hosted 67 events that impacted 3,500 kids.

4,000+ copies of The Bronx Is My Home are out in the world in just two months!!!

10,000 copies of Plàtanos Are Love is out in the world, which means it is SOLD OUT!!!

PLÁTANOS ARE YOU is officially in its second printing!!!

The Spanish version, LOS PLÁTANOS SON AMOR, comes out in April 2024, so the magic continues!

I'm so fortunate to be able to continue to write love letters so that kids can feel seen and heard. I have three more books coming out so stay tuned for more!

Please contact me if you are interested in working together in 2024.

I offer Author Consultation sessions as well as manuscript critiques for writers and authors in which I share my wisdom and best practices. My teachers, principals, and education friends, I offer engaging school visits. My corporate buddies, I work with DEI - Resource Groups as a speaker.

I wish you all a Happy Holiday season and a Joyous New Year to all. I hope 2024 brings you all LOVE and LIGHT.
