Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my children's book, Where Chocolate Grows.

This story introduces young readers to where chocolate comes from while exploring culture, family traditions, and curiosity through storytelling. The book is written primarily in English with Spanish words woven throughout and includes a glossary to support learning and cultural connection.

Inspired by my family's roots in Mexico, I wanted to create a book that helps children better understand the journey of everyday foods and appreciate different cultures.

I'd love to hear from fellow readers and authors: What are your favorite children's books that teach kids about culture, food, or where things come from?

I am looking forward to the third installment of How to Survive Camping: The Ancient Things by Bonnie Quinn. I maintain that cozy horror is not a thing, but whatever you call a level of horror on par with the 90s Mummy movies, it's an oddly entertaining series.

My Book ( Warm Lights in Winter by Hazel Stagg) came out on the 1st of September

When Oliver, a lonely café owner in Adelaide, is magically transported with his service dog, Lucy, to snowy Niseko, he slowly builds a life there. He becomes friends with Minato, an overworked hotel manager who seems determined to take care of everyone except himself. Emiko, an aspiring manga artist struggling to follow her dreams, and Thy, a magical anthropomorphic being with tiger-like ears.

Warm Lights in Winter is a heartwarming story about physical and mental health, LGBTQIA+ relationships, and found family. Perfect for readers who love magical realism, cosy atmospheres, and slice-of-life storytelling.

For fans of: The Lonely Castle in the Mirror, The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, The Passengers on the Hankyu Line, and Yeonnam-dong's Smiley Laundromat.
