I am a multi-ethnic, pan-cultural author of books for and about children. I was born and raised in Mexico city, but my ethnic legacy spans to Ireland and Spain. I have also put down my own roots in many countries I now call home and whose cultural character shapes my identity, including France, Japan, Germany, and the United States. Not surprisingly, I love exploring themes of identify and diversity. Long philosophical conversations are a favorite pass-time!
I currently live in the Chicagoland area with my husband, three kids, and two very lazy cats.
In addition to writing, I also offer a Master Course on Picture Book Writing and Editing and Picture Book critique services.
I’m proud to be a part of the wonderful collective of Latinx writers and illustrators, Las Musas. My amazing agent is Ammi-Joan Paquette at Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
