Children's Book
Be Different and be KindThis book was a project of love between a mom and her daughter. Maria illustrated it with her remarkably talented and creative daughter jewel, Ella. Feeling different is something they both have experienced throughout their lives, motivated them to bring a hope filled message. One that resonates deeply and celebrates all of our unique brilliance. Maria, as an immigrant, has navigated the struggle to fit in. Ella, with a visible hand difference, has her own unique challenges in her journey for belonging. Both mother and daughter value the unique differences inherent in every human. As a School Counselor, Maria brought this passion into the classroom, creating a curriculum specifically teaching children the beauty of differences.
