Thanks for visiting my page! If you’re here, you might love stories, ecology, sleuthing kids, and a sprinkle of magic! My cuentos come from a place deep inside my heart, where I find ways to connect unique, strong, and brave characters to the natural world. Because if you think about it, we are all connected…not only to each other, but to the greater world around us. Born and raised in a land of rain forests and coral reefs, I find inspiration under the smallest seashell or above the tallest tree. I hope you can find something in my stories to inspire YOU! Art by me. Chalk on blackboard. Quetzal.
