Why I have been missing the last few days.

Today, I’m joining   because children belong in homes, schools, playgrounds, and the arms of people who love them—not in detention centers (that I call concentration camps because they fit the Merriam-Webster definition).

As a self-published author, I’m reading from my bilingual children’s book and I’m using my voice, my platform, and my books in the hope that more people will pay attention, speak up, and demand better.

Until every child is home, we keep reading.

Today, I’m joining because children belong in homes, schools, playgrounds, and the arms of people who love them—not in detention centers.
As a self-published author, I’m reading from my bilingual children’s book because stories have always been how I make sense of the world, teach empathy, and plant seeds of hope. If books can comfort a child, inspire action, or help bring attention to families being held in detention, then I will keep reading.
The families being held in detention deserve dignity, due process, and freedom. The children inside these facilities are not political talking points. They are children.
So I’m using my voice, my platform, and my books in the hope that more people will pay attention, speak up, and demand better.
Until every child is home, we keep reading.

Your voice counts more than you think.

We watch Creature Cases so often that the facts, animals, and little details become part of our everyday conversations. Then we head outside and suddenly we’re spotting the same things in real life.
I’ve learned that kids don’t always learn in big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it’s repetition. A favorite show. The same questions over and over. The same wonder, practiced daily until it becomes part of how they see the world.

Watching my daughter leap without fear should feel simple. But every moment of joy keeps colliding with the reality that children are still being separated, detained, caged, and traumatized in this country.

Please vote like their futures depend on it…because they do.

A hammock raised me, too. I napped in them… meanwhile my daughter is out here sprinting toward one like it’s an Olympic sport 😂 The first time she falls short, she says, “tratamos una vez más,” and she does because in our bilingual home, we don’t give up, we keep trying. Watching our culture, our language, and our resilience live on through our children is everything. ❤️
