Explore vibrant stories celebrating Mexican American culture.
"As a Mexican American author, I pour my own experiences and heritage into stories celebrating Mexican American culture.

Beyond that, I hope these tales serve as joyful bridges, inviting all students to learn about new cultures and discover the boundless delight of reading."
