COVER REVEAL

Picture
I've been working on something exciting...actually, a dream -- my journey in picture books! 

      Milly’s Journey — (4 BILINGUAL book series)

Serie description: From a small village in Guatemala to a snowy street in America, this is the powerful true story of one girl’s journey to reunite with her mother—and the dreams and hopes she carried along the way.
Milly grows up helping her family, selling oranges, and dreaming of becoming a teacher. When Mama leaves for America, Milly holds onto her letters like treasures. Years later, when the time comes to cross borders and brave the unknown, Milly packs more than clothes—she carries memories, hope, and love in every step.
Told with poetry, heart, and courage, Milly’s Journey is a series of stories of resilience, family, and the strength it takes to follow your dreams—even when the road is long.
Book 1
Milly’s Journey: Where the Dreams Take Root / El Trayecto de Milly: Donde los Sueños Echan Raíces
Picture
From making tortillas to classrooms, from orange baskets to big dreams—this is the true story of a little girl with a very big heart.​

Milly grew up in Guatemala helping her family, walking long miles to school, and dreaming of becoming a teacher. With courage in her feet and hope in her heart, she discovers the power of learning, hard work, and never giving up.

Where the Dreams Take Root is a moving picture book about resilience, family, and the roots and dreams that carry us forward.

book 2
Milly’s Journey: The Letters in my Backpack / El Trayecto de Milly: Las Cartas en mi Mochila

Picture
When Mama leaves for America, Milly holds on to her letters — and to hope.
Every envelope carries a piece of Mama’s love. And when the time comes to cross borders and skies to reunite with her, Milly packs more than clothes—she carries memories, courage, and dreams stitched into every word.
​

Inspired by a true journey, The Letters in My Backpack is a tender and powerful story about family separation, bravery, and the love that connects us across any distance.

Book 3 & 4
