DROPS - GOTAS
When the girls were little, I was fascinated by their similarities and differences. I never dreamed of having twins and yet, here they were occupying every second of my life and filling it up with love and magic. I am still in awe 10 years later. This book is a collection of poems inspired by them.
Cuando mis hijas estaban chiquitas, estaba fascinada con sus similitudes y sus diferencias. Nunca me imaginé tener gemelas pero ahà estaban ocupando cada segundo de mi vida y llenándola de amor y mágia. Sigo encantada 10 años después. Este libro es una colección de poemas inspirados por ellas.
Available in Amazon. Disponible en Amazon.
ANIMALS FROM A - Z
When the girls were learning Spanish in Malaysia, the Spanish teacher wished for a bilingual book about animals. I took it upon myself to write a book in free verse about animals from A to Z.
It is also in Kindle ebook.
