Penny and Gus were born out of a love for storytelling and teaching. Inspired by my own experiences with learning, curiosity, and culture, these stories are designed to inspire kids to think big, ask questions, and explore the world around them.

As a first-generation storyteller, I’ve always been drawn to narratives that celebrate heritage and connection. Penny and Gus reflect my passion for combining fun, engaging adventures with meaningful lessons about problem-solving, teamwork, and curiosity. Whether it’s through gardening, cooking, or exploring nature, I aim to create stories that encourage kids to embrace creativity, celebrate diversity, and find joy in learning something new.

These characters are a little piece of my heart, and I’m thrilled to share their journeys with young readers and families everywhere.
