What We Read this Week: My Name is Celia/Me llamo Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz

Hi there! How’s your Friday going so far? Are you excited for the weekend? Here we are actually in the middle of a cross country move, so to be honest I’ve kind of lost track of the days.

Growing up in a Cuban American family, I remember how much I loved my Grandparents’ little house in Kendall, Miami. It was a magical place to me—filled with light, and bright colors, delicious food, and coffee. Always coffee. The coffee my grandparents loved to drink was their “cafecito,” Cuban espresso, with a lot of azĂşcarContinue reading “Coffee, familia and a Bilingual Book”

The Beginning

I remember very clearly the moment that I first knew I wanted to publish a book. I remember drawing the pictures—the story was about a squirrel who learns to fly.
