Hey Mayra, Congratulations on your success.
I was recently introduced to Guardian Angel publishing. I am currently waiting for comments on some illustrations that I submitted to them. Take care and God bless.

Her name is Suzy Brown and she and she lives in the Netherla... more

Hi Mayra! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your daughter's e-book being published. If anything in life could make a child feel as though they can do anything, having a book published at 9 is right up there! Congrats on your own ventures, too. -kate : )
