Unveiling My Book

May 31, 2024 by Elvira Burgo

My book is coming along. Meet the main characters, Autumn and ‘Daddy.’ Autumn is a bright young girl, and her father is loving. Together, they embark on a journey that will touch your heart.

Autumn and her dad go on a walk in the aqueduct, and events unfold. One of the remarkable aspects of the book is the bond between the two. While we often see a mother and child, the father-daughter bond is also precious and significant.

Let's talk about the illustrations. 

The illustrations were digitally created by a 17-year-old who has never illustrated a book before—no, it's not AI. I won't go into too much detail about the process right now, but I can tell you that Gabby, the illustrator, is phenomenal and self-taught. She's already halfway through, and we can’t wait to celebrate.

Kudos to Gabby, who has already received an illustration job offer. 

I can't mention Gabby without expressing my gratitude to her mother, Stephanie, for her support and encouragement. As we all know, nothing truly happens without a mother. Yes, I said that. Mothers are not just lovely. They are the backbone of our lives—especially the stay-at-home and dedicated ones who barely get a break.

Introducing you to the characters and illustrations brought me so much joy. Stay tuned for more details about my book, which will be published in the fall. 

Thank you for reading.
