-wanted to create books where children could find power in personal stories

-Juana was always drawing when she was younger which led her to becoming not only and author but an illustrator as well.]]> 2022-04-15 01:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/per41/9o96as6pzxtdh4np/wish/2144520016 Upbringing Influences her Books per41 https://padlet.com/per41/9o96as6pzxtdh4np/wish/2144523965 -Juana adds Spanish into her books that are easy for young English readers to understand. She adds these words because she was born in Columbia and is bilingual

-Juana's upbringing in the culture she was raised in inspired her books, especially Juana & Lucas.
