Super Spots by Nakeyia Jones

Q: First tell us something about yourself ?

I was born and raised in New York City. I have a Master’s Degree in Secondary Education and taught English for 15 years. I love to sing, shop, help the less fortunate, travel and spend time with my family.

Q: How and when your journey started as a writer?

I loved writing and creating my own stories since I was a child. During teaching, I would create stories with my students spelling words. The students would always love the stories I created and encouraged me to write my own book last year in 2019.

Q: When did you write your first story? Is it published or not?

My first book called Super Spots was released in October 2019.

Q: Tell us something more about your books?

My first book is about a girl named Nia, who has a skin condition called Vitiligo. She is a positive girl that loves to create songs that rhyme and teach others about her skin condition. During the pandemic, I wrote 5 books, so I am now the author of 7 books.

Q: Why do you choose kids as your reader ? is there any specific reason?

I love to encourage young people to read as often as possible so I chose children as my audience.

Q: How did these stories and characters come to your mind?

I am living with Vitiligo and it has not always been an easy journey. Some children can be cruel when they see people that are different. I desire to teach children to accept their differences and the differences of others in my writing.

Q: Do you want to give any message for your readers?

My message to readers “Be comfortable in the skin that you’re in an Be unapologetically yourself.

Meet Our Fabulous Author Pablo Fernandez-Eyre

Q: First tell us something about yourself ?

My name is Pablo and I’m from Spain. I work in the film industry in LA.

Q: How and when your journey started as a writer?

I have always loved writing since I was a kid. I wrote many movie scripts but never a children’s book before.

Q: When did you write your first story? Is it published or not?

Sushi City started as a video game but it was never finished. I had to simplify the story to turn into a children’s book. I hope to extend it one day and turn it into something bigger.

Q: Tell us something more about your books?

My book mixes fantasy with good messages of wanting to change the world into a better place.

Q: Why do you choose kids as your reader ? is there any specific reason?

Kids are the future of this planet so it’s very important that they learn from us so they don’t make the same mistakes we did.

Q: How did these stories and characters come to your mind?

I was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki movies. Love their animation and “save the planet” themes.

Q: Do you want to give any message for your readers?

The main message of the book is about friendship/take care of your friends. I see the book for all kind of ages. Little kids like it because of the illustrations, bigger kids like it because of the fantasy, adults like it because of the message behind about female empowerment, ending animal over exploitation, ending hunger in the world, taking care of our planet.

Demi Nicole Little Miss Imperfect By Demetria Ballard

Demi Nicole Little Miss Imperfect By Demetria Ballard
Wow, such a beautiful book with a strong message “You are beautiful just the way you are !!
This book is talking about self confidence , self love and most importantly about insecurities which we all have because we always compare ourselves with others.
The story is about Demi NIcole and her childhood friend which she calls her by the name of insecurity because she doesn’t love her hair, teeth and Insecurity has a sister named confidence. She has a vitiligo condition but she loves her skin .

Demi has many more friends in school and they all said that Insecurity always teases them about their size , accent and lot more so Demi tries to tell them that nobody is perfect and we should focus on our good qualities , not on our bad , it makes us more insecure and makes us weak.

Illustrations are so beautiful and colorful and I just loved the girls’ pyjama party in the end and they had a lot of fun together .
This book is full of positivity and learning for children and as well as for adults . I just love the way author named characters like Confidence and Insecurity which helps children to understand which is better to have.
