NATURE, MUSIC & CHILDREN
inspire me
to write and share.
​
Songs and poems
were my first creations.
Children's musicals followed.

Now...CHILDREN'S BOOKS
are my "thing"!

The Story of Papà Tortuga
No one believed Nando.
​
He went against the traditions of his village in Mexico, and people called him crazy.
But he did NOT give up! Nando was still a youth when he found his purpose.
In his lifetime, he saved millions of endangered sea turtles,
earning the title Papà Tortuga.
The incredible story of Fernando Manzano inspires both young and old.
