'Daylan and the River of Secrets' is Now Available!

As an elementary school teacher for several years, I always dreamed of writing a story that kids could see themselves in. Daylan and the River of Secrets is that story.

​

When I was in elementary school, I was called many names. Most of them didn’t feel right. Now, as an adult, I’m thrilled to bring you Daylan’s journey—because there’s a bit of Daylan in me, and I hope you’ll find a bit of yourself in him too. 🥲

​

​This book is also a tribute to Mexican folklore. It’s a song, a legend, and an adventure wrapped into one.

 

From Publishers Weekly: 12-year-old Daylan tries to overcome his fear of swimming after a long-ago river encounter with Cihuamichin—a legendary water woman with the power to bring either safety or destruction to his small Mexican community.​​​​​​​
