Description: Jackie Morera is a second-generation Cuban-American children's book writer.
My dad helped me “write my first book” when I was very young. He bound pieces of paper together and invited me to fill them with my stories, which he later brought to life with his illustrations. It’s difficult not to fall in love with writing when you’re introduced to it in such a magical way.
I couldn’t get enough. So, I spent my formative years playing around with storytelling. I scribbled away at tales of adventure, betrayal, intrigue, and romance, led by uncommon heroes and thwarted by villains you expect and some you don’t. I wanted to write it all, just like I wanted to read it all.
